Biodynamics
Guest speaker: Sandra Norman
We live on a property at Dooralong where we have our own small mixed orchard, vegetable garden, chickens, ducks, horses and some cattle.
I have been interested in organics for over 30 years, applying organic practices in our garden and had an interest in biodynamics but did not begin using biodynamic principles on our property until 1999. I attended a beginners course, run by the Hunter Biodynamic Group, in the late 90’s and I thought this is the direction I will now take. For me, it was a natural step to move from organic practices to biodynamics. I have been interested in gardening organically since the 70’s when I joined the Henry Doubleday organization. I have always had some sort of vegetable garden.
My philosophy is that our health is very much dependent on the quality of the food we eat, which means it needs to be grown in healthy balanced soil without the use of chemicals and poisons.
