Bio-Organic Farming & Gardening: GROW Your Own FOOD
Why take this course?
¡Hola! It's great to see your enthusiasm for BioDynamic/organic farming and the practical, hands-on approach of this course. You've outlined a fantastic journey into the world of sustainable agriculture that emphasizes self-reliance, respect for nature, and the rhythmic flow of life as guided by the BioDynamics calendar.
The resources you need are quite accessible:
-
Land or Containers: A small piece of land is ideal, but if space is limited, containers can be just as effective for growing herbs, vegetables, and even some fruits.
-
Organic Materials: These are crucial for creating compost and enriching your soil. You can use local manures, dried grasses or grains, and vegetable scraps from your kitchen, restaurant, or yard.
-
Water Supply: Whether it's a natural water source like a river or stream, or piped-in water from mains, access to water is essential for irrigation.
-
Tools: A BioDynamics calendar (which you can find online), a sturdy hoe, a hand digger or trowel, and a couple of buckets will be your primary tools. Wear appropriate clothing to protect yourself from the elements, and remember that having a support system—friends or fellow learners—can make the experience more enjoyable.
-
Engagement and Learning: Don't hesitate to ask questions or share your experiences with others. This course is as much about teaching each other as it is about farming itself. Your participation actively contributes to the collective learning.
-
Fun and Smile: Remember to enjoy the process, as gardening can be incredibly rewarding and a source of joy.
You've mentioned that the instructor (Im) is there to guide you through any queries or concerns you might have. Im is committed to spreading knowledge about biodynamic farming, ensuring that you receive all the necessary support throughout your journey in becoming a BioDynamic farmer.
Good luck on your farm adventures, and may your endeavors lead to a healthy, sustainable, and fulfilling relationship with the land and its cycles!
