This develops with practical work and recording the results. As each farm has its own individuality, the farmer develops an insight for the farm.
The Calendar is an open-source data document. It is an appropriate knowledge tool for the farmer. It empowers the farmer to work with the principles of biodynamic farming to create food with vitality for nourishment. By presenting all the astronomical data in the calendar, no dependency is created in the farmer for external advice.
