My apologies for a slow response.  The "recipes" for BD 500, 501, etc.  are
given in several books: Secrets of the Soil (Tompkins and Bird), A
Biodynamic Farm (Hugh Lovel); Grasp the Nettle (Peter Proctor), and
Bio-dynamic Farm Practice (Sattler and Wistinghausen) among others.  The
last in this list is excellent for 500 and 501, but does not give much
detail on _making_  502-508.  However, more skill and training is required
to make proper 502-507, the BD compost preps, than 500 and 501, the BD spray
preparations.

All of the preps can be purchased from Josephine Porter Institute, P. O. Box
133, Woolwine, Va  24185-133, 540-930-2463.  For experimental research
studies I would recommend using JPI preps because of the uniformity and
quality of what you will be using.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance regarding biodynamics.  I
am very curious to learn more about your pending research.
