Biodynamic Beginner Kit

The Biodynamic Beginner Kit combines preparations for soil, compost, and foliage with dried horsetail and the 2027 Stella Natura planting calendar. It adds horsetail and a calendar to the three preparations in the Quick Kit.

One Field and Garden Spray unit treats one acre; one Compost Starter unit treats 1–1.5 tons of compost material. Follow each preparation's own application rate.

Contents include:

• 1 Unit – Pfeiffer™ Field and Garden Spray
• 1 Unit – Pfeiffer™ Compost Starter
• 1 Unit – BD 501 Horn Silica
• 1 Unit – BD 508 Horsetail Herb (Equisetum arvense)
• 1 Stella Natura Biodynamic Planting Calendar (2027)

Directions:

Detailed instructions are included with each kit. See JPI's current preparation instructions for each item.

Moisten the Field and Garden Spray to a paste, activate it for 12–16 hours, then dilute and spray close to the soil late in the day, following its one-unit-per-acre directions.

Moisten the Compost Starter to a paste, activate it for 12–16 hours, then dilute and apply it through the compost pile layers. One unit treats 1–1.5 tons of material.

BD 501 is stirred in water for one hour and applied as a fine foliar mist according to its current instructions. 

BD 508 Horsetail Herb can be prepared as a fresh tea for a fine foliar mist or as a fermented tea for a soil spray. Follow the separate directions for each preparation.
