With Easter, the traditional time for planting,upon us,
You may be interested by the ancient lore of planting
according of the moon.
Simply put, the moon is on the wane at present, so we
should plant crops that grow below the ground.Also
trees (including fruit trees) and saplings.

Did you know that followers of biodynamism believe that when they fertilize
with cow manure, the slurry must be stirred rhythmically beforehand because
water has a memory?
Poor, deluded fools!
They use organic farming methods, there's nothing wrong with that, in fact,
that is to be encouraged. However, the rest is pure tosh!
