Effects on Compost and Manure -

Notes and Academic Papers

.. gives compost and manure the power to relate properly to phosphorus... and regulates .. temperature processes, and surrounds the heap with protective warmth. (34)

It is correct to say that the out-streaming scent of the flowers is the purest expression of the nature and activity of formative forces. In it, material substance is de-materialised to the highest degree..... It would certainly be wrong to see the valerian preparation as a phosphate fertiliser. Valerian contains no more phosphate in its ash than any other plant. What determines its effect are the formative forces concentrated in the valerian flowers..... The effect of the valerian flower juice in comparison seems to be a universal all-encompassing and unifying process. – one which can contain the rampant metabolic activity of the compost heap and turn it into a self-contained totality.
