through the biodynamic route, by means of additives. The former promotes aerobic breakdown and transformation processes; the latter acts in a directing way on the entire course of the process right through to maturity. Proven additives that biologically re-bind the ammonia arising from the breakdown of urea include refined farmyard manure composts in small quantities, as well as chopped stinging nettle, sawdust and wood shavings. The biodynamic compost preparations (see chapter "The Compost or Manure Preparations," p. 360 ff.) are submerged in the liquid manure and slurry in permeable bags, suspended from a float. To avoid nitrogen losses, floating covers of straw, stinging nettles, etc., with raw phosphate and basalt meal scattered in, can also serve in open fermentation chambers.
