Ron and Bev Smith share one of their tips learned from years of experience running a biodynamic dairy farm. Ron shows us how he uses his kit to measure the energy of his rock dust. He describes how Phil Callahan’s book ‘Paramagnetism’ exposes the value of knowing the value of this energy. Phil’s other books:”Tuning in to Nature” and “Nature’s Silent Music” circle the world, and tell the story of birds and insects as exquisite magnetic antennae.

Actual Compost Tea Brewing! Bruce discusses compost tea making. Notice that he does not use a tea bag, so he gets more nutrients in the liquid. Bruce has made tea brewing simple!
Bruce Davison explains why he uses compost tea on his property . A great way to reduce cost.
This compost heap is approximately 4 TONS(4,000 KiloGrams), when this is made into compost tea, this is enough for thousands of hectares. Vermi compost has 6 times the nutrients of compost.
Bruce show us an owl perch for rabbit control. Owls will sit on these post and look around for rabbit and when they see one, it will be a nice meal. These owl perches are high enough to stop predators like fox and dogs harming the owls. No poisonous rabbit bates has to be used.
Bruce Davison talks about the importance of building up nutrients in the soil.
Mineral plants take 95% of nutrients from the atmosphere and 5% from the soil. These plants are highly digestible, they do a very good job when the animals eat them. African lovegrass, a fuel plant, however takes 99% from the atmosphere and takes only 1% from the soil.
