This week we spent a bit of time focusing on the soil. We put out some of the special biodynamic preparations (horn manure and horn silica) which are stirred by hand for an hour and then put out over the whole paddock with a hand-made rye grass brush. It's a very pleasant job with plenty of time for contemplation, appreciating the progress so far and envisioning the changes to come.
At the other end of the scale, I took soil samples from the centre of each bed (that hasn't had the chooks on it within the last two months) and sent off an averaged sample to the laboratory for testing. I'll let you know of the results when they come back.
