leave the iron at home

the use of tools in biodynamic agriculture provides copper as metal-working ground, this we know for various reasons, (eg the polarity of the soil, copper is a diamagnetic metal), but if we look back even wood was used with various types such as the handles of rakes (young pine) teeth (hornbeam) rootstocks (beech). baker's shovel in maple wood, larch barrels etc.etc.

copper is very expensive: lately, and I'm gearing up to play my tools to work with scraps of old gutters and copper pipes.

also if we use other help for the growth of plants can be very useful in :
