The moon continues its journey through the constellation of Taurus, an ideal time for working with the soil, often after clearing vegetable beds in preparation for new crops. As we learn more about mycelium and soil structure, there is a growing movement towards no-dig methods of vegetable cultivation. This approach incorporates wood chip paths and uses only light cultivation techniques to manage weeds. However, it requires significant initial effort to remove all weeds from the soil and demands careful, diligent management thereafter. Many biodynamic gardeners are successfully integrating biodynamic principles into no-dig gardens, using resourcefulness to align with the concept of a farm organism, which is a key principle of biodynamic agriculture.
