Gardener’s lunar calendar for august 2022: auspicious days

Main activities in August

If you prefer to enlist the support of cosmic energies when growing vegetables and fruits, we recommend that you pay attention to the lunar sowing calendar for August 2022, which will tell you in detail about successful and unsuccessful days for planting. This calendar is based on the movement of the moon, which, changing its phases, affects the natural processes of the ecosystem. There are only four phases: the waxing moon, the full moon, the waning moon and the new moon. They have periods that are not of great importance for the overall change in energy flows.

On the growing moon, gardeners are always advised to plant terrestrial plants, as well as take care of young vegetation. On the full moon, it is recommended to suspend all processes, since during this period there are serious changes in the planet’s magnetic field, due to which crops planted on such a day can behave unpredictably.

On the waning moon, it is better to sow vegetables that grow underground, since the magnetic field during this period causes groundwater to rise, saturating the earth with moisture and supplying the roots with useful minerals and trace elements. On the new moon, among gardeners, it is customary to take care of the backyard territory and garden beds.

In accordance with the change in the position of the Earth’s satellite, the zodiac calendar also changes, which also affects the vegetative processes of nature. So, all signs are divided into fertile, moderately fertile and infertile. The first are Cancers, Pisces and Scorpios. Less fertile are Taurus, Capricorn, Libra and Sagittarius. The least fertile include Leo, Aries, Gemini, Aquarius and Virgo.

Every month, the Earth’s satellite goes through all phases of growth, and also resides in all zodiacs. Based on this, it is possible to compile a lunar sowing calendar for any month by studying the calendar of celestial bodies. In August, all gardeners begin to prepare for autumn, so the calendar for this month is of particular importance.

First of all, when studying horticultural affairs, we pay attention to the list of works that will have to be carried out on the site, preparing for the change of seasons. In August, this list of works includes:

• application of organic and mineral fertilizers;
• land works (in particular, loosening, hilling, plowing, thinning and weeding);
• preparation of plant material (preparation of seeds and cuttings, transplantation);
• treatment of crops from parasites;
• preparation and laying of compost.

In August, you should not prune branches and shoots on both young and old plants.

The lunar calendar for August 2022 recommends landing and care work this month on the following days:

• 1 – you can sow any radish and onion, take care of hilling and transplanting young plants;
• 2, 3 – good days to fertilize and plow the soil, treat plants from weeds and parasites;
• 6, 7, 8 – start applying mineral and organic dressings, do not forget to spray the crops with antifungal drugs, and also plant the remaining onions and daikon;
• 14-19 – favorable days for any garden work: plant cucumbers, herbs, tomatoes, zucchini and pumpkins, do not forget about picking young shoots;
• 20-23 is a good time to sow lettuce, peppers, eggplant and legumes, as well as to weed the ground around the seedlings;
• 28-31 – spend the last days of the month planting radishes and onions, taking care of the root system of plants. Fertilize, loosen the soil, water and treat the soil for pests.

Gardener’s signs in August

In August, gardeners are encouraged to carefully observe the surrounding nature, as our ancestors did. It was they who noticed the dependence of the grain harvest on humidity, nuts and mushrooms on the number of dry days, and the taste of fruits on the number of sunny days in the last month of summer.

• On the 1st and 2nd, be sure to follow the abundance of precipitation. If it rains these days, expect a good harvest of wheat and millet, but there may be problems with nuts and mushrooms. Therefore, gardeners who grow these plants on the site are advised to prepare in advance and acquire high-quality greenhouses.
• On August 5, folk legends advise you to work hard, especially since according to the lunar sowing calendar of 2022, this day falls on a waning moon, which favors those who take care of the earth.
• On the 9th, the gardener’s signs indicate that it’s time to dig potatoes and pick cabbages, but on the 11th you can pick up barley and oats, if any, on your site.

• From August 13, the time of general abundance begins – many fruits and vegetables are already ripening, and by this moment their collection has either been completed or has begun. Therefore, in the second half of the month, it is recommended to allocate days for the preparation of products for the winter.
• On the 14th, gardeners begin arable work, as well as preparing crops for winter – loosening, cuttings, laying seeds and a threshing floor.
• From the 19th day of the month, they begin to collect late-ripening fruits – apples, plums, pears. And after 23 days, gardeners were engaged in sheltering crops for the winter and building greenhouses.
• From August 28 to 30, our ancestors finished all gardening and field work and harvested the last crops of barley, nuts and apples.
