This book is an easy book to read and follow. It is not just theory - I have been following it
for my beekeeping, gardening and nut orchard for three years now and the difference is
quite amazing. Pruning is no longer a guess - planting, harvesting, is now scheduled
in long before the day arrives and the results will be lots of fruit, honey and nuts.
Cannot recommend it enough.

I highly recommend this resource if you are new to BioDynamic gardening or farming. It covers all the details associated with BD farming, the celestial aspects, and helps in innumerable ways to make your gardening and farming a huge success. It has a handy poster in the back so you can look at where you are presently and look forward to plan ahead and be ready for planting, and all the other aspects involved in growing. I have used this particular publication in the past and enjoyed wonderful results. But this book!

I gave this calendar as a gift and the recipient loved it and found the strange looking (IMHO) charts both easy to use and understand after she spent some time to understand the symbols.
