BIODYNAMIC PREPARATIONS

THE 500 OR HORN MANURE

What is it:
It is fresh cow manure composted and buried in a cow horn from St. Michael to Easter and which appears when dug up as humus, dark, odorless, fresh, moist and colloidal.
What is it for:
It is a “leaven” of the earth's vital processes and can be considered an activator of humus formation and plant rooting.
It processes the forces of the subsolar planets (Moon, Mercury and Venus) in the soil and root system.
Where and when to use it:
• It is sprayed mainly on the soil in spring at the beginning of the vegetative phase and also in autumn before sowing
• It can be used for root bath before transplanting (30 minutes)
• It can be used for seed bathing (spray on the seeds the night before and leave them covered)
• It is excellent to use it in the preparation of log paste
How to store and use:
It is kept in a wooden box covered with peat and can be stored like this for at least 2 years from when it was extracted from the horn.
when used it should be dynamized for an hour in the afternoon/evening and the dynamization lasts for a few hours (3)
to be sprayed on the ground ALWAYS with moisture in the ground

Preparation 500 is available in two formulations:
1. classic 500 preparation
2. prepared 500 composted 500 K or 500 P
the classic 500 is used in doses of 200 g per hectare
500 K is used at a dose of 100 g per hectare
How to use:
• 500 or 500 K is used at doses of 100 g/35 – 50 lt non-chlorinated H2O/hectare
• it is recommended to use the 500 at least twice in spring and once in autumn
• to be dynamized and sprayed for each new sowing
• the water temperature must be lukewarm (from 37° to 40°)
• the water must not be heated by electricity but by wood or gas
• the water must preferably be rainwater or from a well or spring (not stagnant for too long, without odors or the presence of lava, etc.)
• if I really have to use tap water it must be shaken and left in the open air to settle for at least 24 hours
• Ferruginous water or water with a high quantity of calcium or salty water is not recommended
• the 500 is activated by means of a particular mix called dynamization which lasts 60 minutes (see the sheet on the website)
• dynamization consists in mixing the 500 in water, creating a vortex which in turn is interrupted by a phase of chaos, coinciding with the reversal of the direction of the previous vortex.
• Dynamization can be done either by machine or manually:
1) by hand as long as it is done with a lot of energy and without stopping
2) by machine as long as some construction characteristics are respected, such as for example the inversion of the vortex which must be regulated by the fluidity of the water and not by timers, and that the vortex is created starting from the top
• The barrel for dynamization must have a cylindrical shape that can allow for a deep conical top
• The presence of earthworms in horn manure is an excellent sign of vitality
• Dynamization should be done in large drops on the ground and on the wood in the evening
• The plastic bag is only for transport, the preparation for conservation must be transferred to a glass or metal jar and stored in the appropriate preparation box if it is not used within a week.
• You can find the 500 preparation ready at Agri.Bio: we ship it throughout Italy and abroad
• Agri.Bio organizes courses every year to teach free of charge the preparation and use of biodynamic preparations: see the website www.agribionotizie.it: The Agriculture of Tomorrow
