In an immeasurably higher degree this holds for a work whose ideational basis has its origin solely in the results of anthroposophical spiritual research and to whose cognition and effective management the farm or enterprise community as a whole sees itself called. It is among other things the making and application of the biodynamic preparations. Their essential nature is addressed in the chapter on the question of manuring. The work with these manure substances, in preparation and application, extends through the whole year. Their application in the smallest possible quantities of substance takes place either in liquid form, directly onto soil and plant from sowing through to the ripening phase, or — in the case of the majority of the preparations — through the farm's own composts and manures.
