Demeter certification and the paper notebook
- Preparations 500 to 508 are jotted in a booklet, and no one knows how much is left or when the batches expire.
- Each per-block application is written loose — and on Demeter audit day half the dates and doses are missing.
- The lunar calendar lives in a printed almanac, separate from everything else in the vineyard.
Full biodynamics, on your vineyard
500-508 preparation inventory
Steiner's nine standard preparations: horn manure (500), horn silica (501), the compost ones (502-507) and horsetail (508). With batches and expiry dates, you always know what you have and what's missing.
Per-block applications
Every application is logged with the preparation, dose, date, block and conditions. The record the audit will ask for builds itself, application by application.
Maria Thun-style lunar calendar
The astral calendar marks Fruit, Root, Flower and Leaf days by the constellation the Moon is passing through. Plan sprays and tasks on the favourable day, without reaching for an almanac.
Demeter certification checklist
Based on the Demeter International 2024 standard: the nine preparations applied at least once a year, compost 502-507 on the pile, copper capped at 3 kg/ha/year and complete records. See where you stand and what's missing.
On the vineyard you already run
Biodynamics rests on your blocks: applying a preparation uses the same block as harvest and the spray diary. One vineyard traceability, not two systems.
The Demeter file, built from your records
The certification checklist is evaluated against the Demeter International standard (2024 edition) using what you already logged: preparations applied in the year, compost preparations (502-507) on the pile, copper use below 3 kg/ha/year and a current preparation inventory. When the audit arrives, the file isn't thrown together in a hurry: it's already there.
Frequently asked questions
Which preparations does it handle?+
The nine standard 500-508 biodynamic preparations: horn manure (500), horn silica (501), the six compost ones (502-507) and horsetail (508). Each with its own inventory, batches and expiry dates.
Does it help with Demeter certification?+
Yes. There's a checklist based on the Demeter International standard (2024 edition) that evaluates your real state: preparations applied in the year, compost on the pile, the 3 kg/ha/year copper limit and records. You see what you meet and what's missing before the audit.
Is the lunar calendar just an almanac?+
No. It's a Maria Thun-style astral calendar engine that computes the day type (Fruit, Root, Flower or Leaf) from the constellation the Moon is passing through, inside the same platform where you plan tasks.
Do I need the Vineyard module?+
Yes. Biodynamics rests on your blocks: applications are logged against the same plots as harvest and the spray diary. It's an add-on on top of the vineyard, not a separate system.
