Biodynamic Farm How and Why

This week I chat with Simon from GooliGulch Biodynamic farm. We discuss using Soil, Sequential Farming and Biodynamics to Generate Profit. Simaon is a traditionally educated farmer with a background in commercial systems who has moved to Biodynamic with a production mindset. Now he focuses on soil, carbon and natural sequences for profit. Find out about his journey and what he does.

The DPI used to be called The Department of Ag and Stock, but which Dad called The Department of Agrivation and Shock. Most of what they know comes from farmers who have done their own research.

Great Video!

Listened to a podcast about Alley Cropping and Agroforestry, phrase stood out,
Chickens are Forest Birds

Can anyone confirm for me that biodynamics has gone away from it's mystical/spiritual origins? Was it just based on that on account of not having the language to explain the good bacteria/ microbes that we talk about today?

Is there a link to the course and can it be done online?

I loved this episode Tim, it has really inspired me to take an active step in biodiversity. We live on a 72Acre farm in Queensland where the soil is albeit sand, so it really needs some loving. Tha ks so much for this info.

Informative and interesting! For farmers, learning about soil analysis is essential to better understand the soil's requirements for revitalizing it to its optimal state, resulting in healthier and more productive crops.

Great work. That one ball of the 500 is enough for a hectare blows our minds goes to show just how tiny our minds are. Keep up the great work.

I don't think there is any reason to use chemicals.

Come on Tim, what's wrong with a little dancing around a cauldron on a full moon? Our favourite is the winter Solstice. Thanks for the diverse subjects you present on your channel.

Great topic. We need more advice re cameras, there are so many on the market, we needed some for our property, majority of sellers were not to sure what would be good for a rural setting, in which it has to be waterproof, night vision, clarity,etc.

Would appreciate if you could suggest something that's too quality for us rural dwellers.
Love the diversity of your videos, Thank you

About the lack of Phosphorus in the soil.
I'm pretty sure there's enough Phosphorus in every soil on this planet, but available Phosphorus is a whole different thing. In order to make that Phosphorus available for plants, it takes soil biology, fungi I believe are the most important worker in P mining.

I absolutely LOVE biodynamics, which I believe will be in higher damage than certified organic as more -Dooley do the research and learn that certified organic is NOT chemical free growing.
I’d would of loved to see inside Simons chook trailers. What a great set up he has. Cheers Tim.👍🇦🇺💕🙏

Tim great video.
Just wondering if you could do a clip on electric mesh fencing and we're you can buy it in Australia.
You tube if full of clips from the US and they always use these products but I'm finding it hard to get

Simon, I want to take a course on biodynamic farming. Any suggestions? I have 40 acres and am planning out a vineyard. It is amazing how a lot of these practices were done by my grandfather from Italy on his vineyard…… from what I knew he didn't know of biodynamics…… only knew what his father taught him.

From my understanding biodynamic farming is largely about not importing inputs onto the farm to keep it fertile. As much as possible the soil inputs come from the farm.

One issue I have with biodynamic farming is the quantities of treatments is very low. I’m all for composting and applying organic mulches & composts. When I’m applying mulches to my orchard trees I’m applying loads of it. I don’t understand how low quantities of application will have much of an impact as opposed to applying in my case around 30 kg of mulch to a tree and having 330 trees a hectare which is around a tonne of material. That material decomposes and is in the soil within around 12 months.

great video – would be great to see more of how he sets up his rotations… and also how his tractors are designed,.
we have a chicken tractor here with 30 birds – but are looking at expanding for the same broadacre manure reasons.
