How to reach The Stirring Rod: a postal address for corrections and sources, and what this desk cannot answer.

Service page · edition of

The Stirring Rod reads its post at contact@cdarbiodynamic.org. Write there to correct a note, to send a source that settles a question this desk left open, or to point out an address on this site that no longer works.

What a letter should carry

For a correction, name the note and the sentence. For a source, give the title, the author or the body that published it, the year, and a link or a citation precise enough to be found again. A source that cannot be read by someone else is not yet a source, and it will not be used.

What this desk cannot do

It does not advise on a particular property, does not interpret a soil analysis for a reader, does not diagnose a plant or an animal, and does not give a figure for a cost, a yield or an improvement.

Letters that ask for those things will not be answered beyond a pointer to this page. That is not rudeness: this desk has no field, no laboratory and no laboratory licence, and a note written from a desk should not pretend otherwise.

Addresses of the old site

If you arrived from a link to aboutus.html, biodynamics.html or aplicationform.html, the redirect should have carried you here or to the closest section. If it did not, the fault is ours: write and say which address you followed, and the redirect will be repaired.
