I dunno. I personally, have built some of the foulest compost piles in the Western Hemisphere, but it looks like I've missed the boat. At least, acording to this:
quote:
Biodynamic Activated Ferments
by Robert Nelson
Biodynamic cultivators stimulate plant growth and enlive compost and manure heaps with "activated ferments" of select plants: Oak bark, Dandelion, Yarrow, Stinging Nettle, and Valerian.
The preparation of these activated ferments may seem bizarre, yet they are very potent and virtually magical in effect when concocted correctly and applied in homeopathic dilution as described elsewhere in this article.
Activated Oak Bark ~
Obtain the skull of any domestic animal. The skull must be new and undamaged. Remove the brain through the occipital foramen of the cranium with a small stick, then immediately fill the skull with pulverized oak bark. Close the opening with a piece of bone, and bury the skull in a wet place during winter. The skull can be buried in a leaky barrel filled with compost. The activated oak bark will be ready by spring. It is to be diluted by homeopathic potentization and applied as a spray to the soil, copost pile or manure heap. The activated oak bark influences the calcium process in plants.
Well, I don't see that it could do any harm, although bones and other animal parts don't do much for essence of the pile. It continues in much the same vein for other barks and plants.
Found it at Randi's place. He gets all sorts of neat stuff.
