Today our good friend from .my sent me this photo of our biodynamic ginger she used for her organic spice tea. She bought 2 kg from me end of December last year. It is end of May now, it means our biodynamic ginger lasted for 5 months ! 🤯 I asked her how she kept it, she left it in a basket in her kitchen covered with a cloth ( she didn’t break the ginger ) and that was it. No water, no soil, still alive 5 months later. A conventionally grown ginger would probably last two weeks and end of story.
Pic 2 and 3 shows the my own experience with my biodynamic ginger placed in the kitchen without water or soil but uncovered. Photo was taken on 5 May 2026, a bit drier, but hey it’s still budding. I have taken it back to the farm for planting.
Why biodynamic ? Life force.
To sustain life, your food must be alive, and the soil that is growing your food needs to be alive too.
今天我们的厨娘好友@farmfoodies.my 发了张照片给我，是我们种的有机生物动力姜，她拿来泡有机香料茶。 这是她去年12月跟我们买的，现在5月尾了，竟然耐了5个月！ 我问她是怎么收的，她说就放在厨房一个篮子，拿布盖着，就这样（但是就没有把姜破成小小块）。没有浇水，没有泥土，5个月后还活着。要是惯性种植的姜大概两个星期左右就化了吧。
图二和图三是我自己收自己姜的经历，放在厨房的篮子，没有水，没有泥土，也没有用布盖。 照片是5月5日拍的，姜是有点干了，但是还在发芽。 我已经拿回农场种了。
为什么要生物动力？生命力
要维持生命，食物必须有生命力，而有生命的食物，必须来自有生命的土壤
