Elaine,
It's up to you to figure these things out for yourself of course, but
there are many BD farmers who think that radionics/broadcasters/rae
cards and the like has nothing to do with Biodynamics. Most of this
stuff comes from what might be called the fringe and is rejected by
mainstream biodynamic people.
I am sure if you "stick with the data" and continue with scrupulous
experiment design, you will get to the facts.
