vegetative growth — and so too the soil processes, which are reactivated to fresh turnovers after each grazing or cut. Soil and plant come to no rest. Generative ripening is denied them. Under intensive use this leads to a diminishment of species. Meadow and pasture therefore call for a manuring that compensates this deficiency — and that is compost. In spring, after the first grazing or the first hay cut, or better still in autumn, it mediates to the sward and the soil a ripened, earth-natured force-structure that configures the substance-building in stem and leaf toward both the reproductive and the nourishing side.
