I would love to know more of the WHY. Why do you pack manure into horns? Why do you bury the horns for 6 months? Why make a tea? Why not merely distribute the dry manure around the vineyard grounds the way most people do to promote growth in their own yards? Am I out of questions yet? LOL
Great Questions! The cow horn is great as a vessel to contain the manure and is theorized that it’s properties add to the breakdown and quality of the compost. 6 months is about how long it takes for the manure to go from manure to compost. The tea is easier to spread compared to regular compost. Our goal is to spread the biological organisms through the teas. We also spread regular compost to add organic matter and biology.
the horns are meant to capture the cosmic outer planetary forces that reach earth, their shape pulls in these energies you see. I'm not making this up, Steiner!......... you just need to kill a few dozen cows for that
Quotes: "The cow has horns in order to reflect inwards the astral and etheric formative forces, which then penetrate right into the metabolic system so that increased activity in the digestive organism arises by reason of this radiation from horns and hoofs." "The horn is something which radiates etheric life and even the astral element. Indeed, if you were able to enter into the cow's belly, you would smell the current of etheric-astral life which streams inwards from the horns: and the same thing is true of the hoofs." "Now by thus burying it with its filling of manure, we preserve in the horn that function which it would normally exercise in the cow's body, that is the reflecting of the life-giving and astral elements. Through the fact of its being surrounded with earth, all the currents of etheric and astral forces stream into its interior. These forces attract all the astral and etheric elements from the surrounding soil, and the manure contained in the horn becomes inwardly quickened with these forces in the course of the winter season when the earth itself is most alive. [...] You have here a tremendous astral and etheric power which you can utilise by taking the content of the cow horn after its period of hibernation and diluting it with water which perhaps should be slightly warmed." Rudolf Steiner, The Agriculture Course, Lecture 4, June 1924. LOL
Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!

That's amazing. How in the world did you ever figure that out???
It's a common Biodynamic practice outlined in Rudolph Steiners lectures
I would like to know if it has good results?? Will this help in high yield??
Where are you getting your horns from?
We Got the horns through JPI Josephine Porter Institute.
i think, even he doesn't belive in this "bullshit"😉
