Living Soil for Vital Food
A Biodynamic Preparation Making Workshop with Peter Proctor Horn Manure and Barrel Preparation (CPP) are key preparations used on biodynamic farms and gardens. Both will be made during this one-day workshop. In the morning Peter Proctor will demonstrate how they are made. After lunch participants are invited to join in stirring and then spraying out Horn Manure over the land. Peter Proctor comes
originally from New Zealand where he managed his own farm for many years.
Since then he has travelled widely and over the past decade has inspired a
burgeoning biodynamic movement in India. A DVD about this work "How
to Save the World" is now available. He is moving back to New Zealand
shortly and this may well be his last visit to the UK. It is an
opportunity not to be missed! |
