		<description><![CDATA[The moon’s effect on the tides is due to the tidal force, which decreases as the cube of distance. The tidal force of the winemaker walking among the vines is stronger than the tidal force of the moon. The moon is bigger, but the winemaker is much closer.

There is no good evidence that moon phase has anything to do with plant development. On the other hand, there is plenty of evidence that the moon is involved in romantic stories that humans tell themselves.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To me the moon phases are one of the strongest points I agree on the biodynamic.  The moon has a major impact on the tides and I assume the water tables as well. But what do I know.  I think we will have a few experts (real scientist) on the show in the future to discuss this.

		<description><![CDATA[Doug, one thing you mention that I have to disagree with is your disregard for the phases of the moon. How can we dismiss the fact that the moon would influence any living thing composed at least partly of water, when we know darned well how it influences our oceans and our force of gravity?

		<description><![CDATA[There is plenty of evidence that organic farming techniques, using compost and manure for fertilizer, can add to the health of the soil and the quality of the plant material. However, it bears repeating that there is absolutely no good evidence that the additional esoteric practices involved in Biodynamic farming make any relevant difference. These include paying attention to the phases of the moon, to astrological forces and &quot;cosmic energies&quot;; burying stag&#039;s bladders filled with yarrow, or animal skulls filled with oak bark, or preparations made from similar odds and ends. It also bears repeating that Steiner himself had no background in agriculture. These wineries have been taken in by well-spoken mystics.]]></description>
