Biodynamic Pfeiffer Field and Garden Spray – An All-in-One Spray

What Is Pfeiffer Field and Garden Spray?

A biodynamic elixir for balance and vitality in soil and plant.

Imagine if your garden had an immune system—something that helped it fight off sickness, grow strong, and stay balanced. That’s what the Pfeiffer Field and Garden Spray is like. It’s an all-in-one biodynamic tonic that harmonizes soil life and strengthens plant vitality. It contains the full set of biodynamic preparations along with potent botanical and mineral influences.

How It Works

Biological Function

The Field and Garden Spray is based on biodynamic principles of balancing growth and decay. Pfeiffer developed this spray to strengthen soil structure and harmonize microbial activity. Ingredients include finely ground basalt or granite dust, BD preparations, liquid manure extract, and fermented herbal teas (especially nettle and yarrow).

Field Use

It is diluted and sprayed onto soil or plants in the early morning or evening. It is especially useful during transplant shock, before storms, or at signs of imbalance (fungus, pests, or poor root development). It is not a pesticide, but rather a subtle immune stimulant.

Why It Works

Rather than fighting disease, it awakens self-regulation. The preparations activate dynamic forces rather than static nutrition.

Spiritual Dimensions of the Spray

The Field and Garden Spray serves as an instrument of etheric harmonization. It is an alchemical act, where preparation and application are as important as ingredients. Pfeiffer considered the role of the practitioner crucial: the moral presence, inner mood, and awareness of lunar and planetary influences all affect the spray’s efficacy.

The use of horn silica (BD 501), often included in later adaptations, relates to light metabolism. Steiner called it a conductor of cosmic light into plant growth. Meanwhile, the compost preparations in the spray bring in planetary signatures. The sprayed field becomes a receiver of cosmic formative forces.

As Steiner explained:

It is a fact, verified by the most intimate anthroposophical knowledge, that a man who works on the land can very easily become clairvoyant. Nay more, if he works in the right way, something of clairvoyance will always be present in his tilling of the soil.

Why It Matters Today

As modern agriculture grows more mechanical and sterile, the Field and Garden Spray restores agriculture as a living conversation between earth and cosmos. It helps farmers tune into the subtle voices of the landscape—and become the kind of caretakers the Earth now urgently needs.
