Some information on Biodynamic® preparations

Cowhorn manure preparation (also known as Biodynamic® preparation 500) is a vital part of the Biodynamic vineyard. The following videos help clarify the process and the general thinking behind utilizing these Biodynamic preparations and how they can benefit the soil in the vineyard. Fascinating! Enjoy!

About Rosnay: Rosnay is a vineyard and olive grove in NSW Australia that has been Biodynamic for 12 years. This video shows the process of mixing and spraying the Biodynamic Preparation 50 and the manure concentrate using flowforms and a small utility. By doing this at least twice a year they have been able to bring life and fertility back into their soils and produce wine, olives and olive oil with unique character, without chemical fertilisers and biocides. For more information visit them online here.
