Water in an agricultural organism

Water in an agricultural organism.

 I suggest that we can see water active in 3 realms of the agricultural life. Just as higher animals have 3 aspects to their organic life.

1. In digestive and metabolic activity

2. In a breathing, circulation and interactive activity

3. In an informative and sensing activity.

We need to see what is going on in order to know how to handle the water to enable the processes to serve our intentions.

If we have a garden or farm pond this will attract birds and amphibious animals and collect fallen plant material. All this accumulates organic material within the water body which requires digestion. It is mainly a metabolic realm . The digestion can be with oxygen- quicker and odour free, or without- slower- resulting in faster sludge build up whose removal can be a smelly event. The ecological diversity in a well oxygenated water body is usually greater than a stagnant one.

Regular recirculation of the water through a Flowform of an appropriate size can provide high levels of oxygenation up to 2 milligram per litre per pass in a single form. The oxygen can also be detectable for longer than with other oxygenation methods ( unpublished results from Laverstoke Park farm).

If we are collecting water for irrigation, this forms a reservoir which can be kept fresh by recirculation, for distribution as and when needed . Water irrigating a green house or polytunnel yet held and moved outside may be experienced as integrating the protected crops more into the whole life of the place. The experience of fresh water moving within a space can create a good mood, particularly in a social area where people may pass by or stop and communicate with one another or with the beings of nature. A Flowform can be a particularly harmonious experience in such a setting, where it may even be felt to become a heart for the farm or the garden.

If we wish to convey particular qualities into our soil life and plant life, we can choose to try to do this through the medium of water. We need then to inform the water, to make it potent with the desired quality. There are many methods for potentisation and the opening up of such water through movement means that the soul qualities of those present can also be brought into play to further enhance the process. So methods of direct human action stirring or shaking may be the method of choice for many.

However it is the experience of agronomists in many countries now that the biodynamic preparations can be potentised by Flowform stirring. Alternating current pumps can be used either submersed or dry mounted without destroying the effect. This method enables more different preparations to be made at more times and in greater quantities—if this is desired.

I would definitely not wish it to be thought that Flowforms are good for everything, or that Flowform treated (“energised”?)  water is the panacea to enhance all life. In fact such claims seem likely to engender a greater scepticism and reluctance to experiment. However it is not difficult to see that there are many ways to enliven the agricultural or horticultural organism and I would like to suggest that there may be one or two places where one might  try using a Flowform.
