Uranium contamination (1933)

It is also great for restoring pastures that are worn out, overgrazed, or have mineral problems. (265)

After the application of biodynamic soil additives, a considerable growth-stimulating effect was detected. The dry matter yield of Lolium perenne was nearly doubled (70%) (1933)

the U[ranium] content of roots and leaves was decreased. ... The application of biodynamic preparations increased the rooting intensity to a considerable degree. (1933)

One farmer was able to double his hay production by using barrel compost weekly on the field (1825)

Many farmers apply it to the field just after the cows have been moved, also running a harrow across to scatter the droppings, and following up with additional applications of homeopathic horn manure eight to 10 days later. This has resulted in up to 33 percent increase in production for fields thus treated. One farmer was able to double his hay production by using barrel compost weekly on the field and also to pretreat his stable manures and compost heap. (265)

A freak frost (29˚F) caught him by surprise ... and he thought he has lost all the foliage on his large crop of miners lettuce. It looked dismal but he decided to try spraying it with barrel compost anyway. The next night it frosted again, but on the following morning he said the plants looked better than they had before the first frost! (432)

... Corry was spraying barrel preparation on our corn ground. After he had finished there there was some left over, so he sprayed a small area of the field were the cows were.... an hour or two later when the cows got up to graze ... the only place they grazed was where Corry had applied the Barrel compost. It was as if there was an invisible fence around the area (433)

Decomposition of green manure (411)

You know that when a seed is sown the first thing it needs to take root, other than water, is air. The root, the radicle has great need of air, oxygen. When you make a green manure, the soil life must digest the mass of green and it must use oxygen which it takes from the soil. Therefore the soil suffers a loss of oxygen when you dig in a green manure. If you sow right away the plant does not grow well because it lacks oxygen. One sould sow when the manure is already digested. The manure from the soil needs to be digested for two months in the cold season or just a month in summer. If we sprayed fladen before digging in the green manure the decomposition time is reduced up to a half so we can sow. (411)

Smell of poultry manure (1825)

One highly popular and widely reported application of barrel compost is on fresh manure of all types to stop the noxious odors and preserve the nutrients. We have tried this with remarkable success in our own poultry house. (1825)
