Hi Tara -

I'd love to work with you, with Allan Balliet helping on the BD side of the
program. We're putting together some testing to look at Biodynamic preps in
compost tea on vineyards. Sure would like to work with you on this. I do so
want to know why the Biodynamic preps work so well. We've seen great numbers
of organisms (please check our e-zines for these data) in preps when fresh.
Do they transfer to the plants? Soils?

It would be nice to know how much of the BD benefit is organism enhancement,
and how much is an energy pattern imposed, the way Hugh Lovell decribes the
benefits. I can handle the microbial assessment. Energy measurements
anyone?
