An Introduction to BIODYNAMICS: Grazing, Cropping & Horticulture. Astro effects on both farming and human activities have been known for 1000s of years by many different cultures.

Understanding and gauging the results through your own observations has led to often simple benefits such as growing straight carrots instead of twisted ones! In fact, there is much to be gained as you’ll discover in this VIDEO as Hamish and John tell you their stories. Everyone is aware that the high and low tides in the sea are the effect of the lunar movement but not everyone is aware of the Astro effects on plants, animals, and us. It costs little to become aware of the Astro effects and what can be gained. The yearly Astro Calendar is available from Biodynamics 2024.

Hamish Mackay Introduces the Astro Calendar

The Astro Calendar is like-half of the system in Biodynamics and it’s not just about Biodynamics. It is an ancient way long followed by all indigenous people to organize their life and their work. This is nothing new – it’s actually finding our way back into it.

Why does the size of the moon change?

Hamish explains why the size of the moon changes and what the node of the moon means in agriculture. Find out when is the best time to do preparation and any agricultural activities in this clip.

Observe what happens when the moon is full or new.

When the moon is full or when the moon is close to the earth all the watery elements get drawn up. So when you harvest fruits or grain on full moon, they will be harder to dry. And just like the tides fungi, worms and other “critters” in the soil rise too. Did you know on full moon, there is more leaf growth but fewer roots whereas on the new moon, there is more root growth but less leaf?

Weed management with weed tea or peppering

Hamish discusses that you can’t just go out there and kill weeds as you need to make your soil as holistic as you can. He further explains the role of weeds and why some weeds grows and then be gone after they do the job. He explains how and when to make weed tea or peppering for weed management.

Worming by the Full Moon

John shares his experience on Full Moon when his mother fed him pumpkin seeds. John says if you worm animals under the Full Moon, it will not affect other functions in the animal’s gut nor will they lose weight.

Benefits of Planting by the Moon

Hamish illustrates his observations on the plants that were planted on different times of the moon phase.
