療癒土壤

夏天種菜比較難，很多時事倍功半，所以種瓜菜的田地在七八月會休耕，雖然說是休耕，但農務工作也不少，因為我們的休耕不是荒著土地，而是會整理田地種植綠肥，也會把整理出來的雜草製作堆肥，為土壤補充養分和生命力

我們相信野草從來都不是土地的敵人，而是土壤的療劑，因為田間長出什麼野草就只是表達土壤的養分和結構，土壤如缺乏某種營養，那些不依靠該種營養的野草便會長出來為土地修復補足，所以田間的野草是和土壤最「有關係」，也最能療癒土壤的缺失

如果因為害怕野草的種子，而把田間的野草用火燒掉，那就十分可惜了，因為這正正破壞了土壤自我回復的療劑，也引致現今的耕作為何必須依賴從「外地」引入一包包又乾又死的「肥料」，所以我們不會把野草燒掉，而是用來製作堆肥

真正的農夫應有知識和技巧去處理田間的野草，以堆肥把野草轉化成土壤的療劑，而在無法養動物的農場，農夫可以種植綠肥作雜草管理，也能加快回復土壤養分的效率

這個堆肥今天做了一半，明天會把另一幅田也整理好便能完成

植物觀察

Biodynamic可以說是一門「不易學而且難精」的農法，其原因是要從觀察物質世界，了解靈性世界在背後如何運作。史代納博士說，如果想了解靈性世界和取得秘修智慧，以植物作為觀察的對象，並且以第一身去感受和體驗自然是最好的方法。

以下節錄《Course for Young Doctors》一段文字：

Inner perception of these things will never unfold if we go no further than what can be learned today from natural science. Many of your questions speak of this as the chaotic knowledge given you by contemporary natural science. What is necessary is to understand, out of real experience, the nature of what was once called the earthy, the watery, the airy, the fiery. For if you simply go on speaking about hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, in the way modern chemistry speaks, these things will always remain something quite external. You will never be able to think in any other way than that you stand there as a human being and somewhere outside there is oxygen or nitrogen. What modern physiology or chemistry tells you about oxygen or nitrogen is something quite direct. Physiology tells you that nitrogen exists in the organism, but you do not experience nitrogen in the organism. What is necessary is to take one’s start from what can be experienced. And things that can be experienced must be deeply united with our whole being, if it is our aim to place ourselves in the service of the shaping of the world.
