In the latest episode of the Alternative Kitchen Garden Show I’m talking about the course I went on at Garden Organic Ryton last week – an introduction to biodynamic gardening.

One of the things we learned about were flow forms – carefully designed water features that turn a steady stream of water into a series of rhythmic pulses. There are two flow forms at Ryton, one in the Cook’s Garden and one in the Biodynamic Garden itself.

This is a short film of the one in the Biodynamic Garden. I took it with my iPhone, and the day was overcast, so there’s not much light. And I have shaky hands, but if you look carefully (particularly at the bottom section of the flow form) then you can make out the changes in the water flow. It’s probably easier if you click through and watch the larger version on YouTube :)
