This tea brewer is used at a local winery. It's made of concrete. The tea is brewed in a catch barrel at the bottom and then pumped to the top of the cascading form. The tea flows down from bowl to bowl dissolving oxygen naturally and acquiring biodynamic properties. The oxygen I understand. The biodynamics I don't.

"Biodynamic" has to be one of the most controversial words in the field at the moment. It is a registered trademark of Demeter Inc. in the US, but that is currently the subject of a court case. The word is not a registered trademark in Europe. This is the closest I can find to a definition of the rather woolly biodynamics philosophy.

SOUNDS LIKE A CULT FOR TRULY WACKED COMPOSTERS! ~Vallari

Actually, Biodynamics is a very tried and true method of organic agriculture that was developed several decades before "Organic" even became a thing.

Yes, its true, Bd is based on certain spiritual concepts that if you operate in a cut-n-dry, spiritless, materialistic scientific paradigm, is hard to grock. Bd readily acknowleges the presence of Nature spirits and cosmic influences (gardening with phases of moon came to organic ag through BD).

Anyone confusing Biodynamics with a cult obviously isn't familiar with Biodynamics or cults.

Regardless of its spiritual implications, one of the most respected researchers in the organic field, Elaine Ingham, acknowleges Bd compost as some of the highest quality that she's seen. Some of the highest quality wines available on the shelves are Biodyamic- but they don't generally market that on their labels.

The Vortex flowform is being used to treat thousands of acres in Australia and Europe- America is next!

My Mother and Father are all for Trees and the world as am I! We have seen lots of diff types of tea brewers and we ONLY see people trying to make FaSt CaSh and thats NOT what we like. My mom has made a bucket that just makes the tea from the Soil that you get from your LOCAL store and what you can make your SELF! Just add water and some of them even USE SOLAR! I hope only to show the world that usein "10 10 10" will and IS KILLING US! Just look online for "Audubon Tree" or "Buddy Bucket"
