i find the stella natura calendar an invaluable resource not only for the astronomical information for working with cosmic rhythms for one's horticulture endeavours but also for the articles "inspired by the foundational concepts of biodynamics and anthroposophy" and i save each year's calendar to read these articles again. A real bonus with the calendar is the inspiring wood block art that accompanies many of the articles. as well, the "virtue of the month" offers great insight and the price for the calendar should be easily manageable for most people's budgets. peace

Sweet! I am on the search for a biodynamic calendar. I've seen one from Stella Natura fron 2006 and was really inspired. I don't know what you're looking for barter. I would like to help you clear your space of clutter. :)

There's an astronomical gardening guide here, bottom right of the page:

ummm...actually if you don't plant by the calendar you can't really call yourself biodynamic..i'm pretty sure...that is the whole thing -- planting by the moon and astronomical (not astro-logical) influences. Anyone can get BD preps but to use the cycles and becoming in tune with your plants through time --

for the first time we are trying out the Stella Natura in our permie garden which we have previously just planted willy nilly, and had good success -- but everything we planted I mean everything came up this year. I have previously thought myself to have a bit of a black thumb -- but not this year. Last year i planted carrots 4 times. FOUR! and never got one to germinate. my arugula was so spotty, my mizuna also bunk. This year the best ever arugula
kohlrabi, and broccoli -- i actually had to thin. The whole house is using the calendar and charting and our success is astronomical.

get the calendar and try it out.

ohhh was it today to burn snails ?

cant find the calander ... wyrd ...
