Stella Natura 2024 Biodynamic Planting Calendar
This edition of Stella Natura celebrates the 100th anniversary of the founding of biodynamic agriculture.
In addition to the regular planting and astronomical information, it includes articles on a wide range of subjects. The outgoing editor offers an in-depth consideration of the cosmic sources in agriculture; the upcoming editor, a beekeeper, shares his perspective on life between heaven and earth; and another author gives insight into the significance of Pluto’s passage from Sagittarius to Capricorn. A soil scientist tells how to observe your soil carefully throughout the cycle of the year; another author explores the effect of the changing length of day on plants; and a gardener from Maine calls for sanctuary gardens for migrating hummingbirds. One article suggests applications of biodynamics for healing landscapes beyond our farms; there is a tribute to Michael Philips, a master apple orchardist; and a medical doctor considers nutrition for cancer patients. Three exercises are offered for healing the illusion of our separateness from the sacred web of life; and another author reveals the environmental impact of solar power technology.
