Are you familiar with the biodynamic preparations used in biodynamic
farming? One of the main preparations is made from cow horn filled with
manure and buried in pits at specific times of the year. Another
preparation is made from cow horn filled with quartz powder and buried in
pits. You might want to check in with the Biodynamic Farming Association.
They have a web site and organization in the UK.
