ANOTHER BIODYNAMIC WORKSHOP

Last week we finalized our biofertilizer and stored the new preparations 500, 501 & 504. Also we are now fighting the ants with some product from Brazil, dry oranges and a home made grilled ant recipee from the vineyard

APPLICATION OF BIODYNAMIC COMPONENTS ON VINEYARD

We prepared and applied both Fladen and Component 500 on the entire vines, thanks to the help of our Austrian trainee Stefan and our vineyard team.

BIODYNAMIC PASTE FOR TREES

To heal our olive and fruit trees from the rabbit bites and hail damages our team prepared a special recipe, called "Biodynamische Paste", which was brushed on all our

vineyard

BIODYNAMIC SEEDING

On a bitter cold winter day we started with our new little biodynamic park- Kamille, Brennessel, Lowenzahn, Baldrian seeds, all essential plants for our applications

BECOMING BIODYNAMIC

After our successful first harvest we started applying our first real biodynamic components on the vineyard. My cousins from Denmark (Vibe & Stine) came all the way to visit the vineyard and helped us with the individual tasks- making compost, spraying component 504 to the vineyard and preparing Fladen and other homeopatic components (Horns, fresh cow head etc, ). For 2 days we were busy and had a lot of fun

BECOMING BIODYNAMIC

The time has come and we are starting with our first biodynamic excercise on the vineyard. We have brought 3 barrels (thanks to Aurelio and Mario) and collected rain water inside. Tomorrow at sunrise we will add component number 501 (quartz cristal stored for 3 months in cow horns), which will be manually mixed for 2 hours. After that exercise we will spray this liquid onto 10 hectares of the vineyard. The same procedure we will repeat on Sunday morning. The goal of this practice is homeopatic to give the plants better resistance and a healthier growth to optimise sun light energy. At this time of the year several weeks before the harvest the first biodynamic practice needs to be applied.
