Hi Bill,
I agree with you that it's worth doing studies on biodynamic; and I certainly don't want to start a fight with the biodynamic people -- if it works for you, go for it.
But I do want to point out that the market supports all sorts of things that don't work, and even some things that do considerable damage. Just because someone is having success selling something doesn't mean that it's a good idea.
And some things that *are* a good idea are not supported by the market. I think we've all had the experience of having a great product disappear from the market: because the producer didn't advertise as well as someone producing a poorer product; because the company producing a poorer product bought out the good one, but didn't want to be bothered keeping up the quality; or for a number of other possible reasons.
