This workbook describes how to build a stirring machine, enabling the practitioner to apply the biodynamic sprays more often and in a more timely fashion. "When I first joined the biodynamic movement [over] 20 years ago, it was accepted that farmers could use tractor sprayers to apply the Biodynamic field sprays, but there was violent opposition to stirring machines.... Times have changed. The pros and cons are not being fiercely debated anymore. Two things are clear to me: stirring by hand is an important experience...it helps the farmer build a personal relationship to those important field sprays.... The second point: getting the material on the fields is more important than how it's stirred." (Anne Mendenhall, author)
