The lunar calendar for March 2022 is a hint on how best to plan various gardening events. This applies to sowing different crops for seedlings, caring for them and other work. To determine whether the day is prosperous for certain events, the phase of the earthly satellite helps.
Influence of lunar phases on plant growth and yield
From the Earth, people see only the part of the moon illuminated by the Sun. As it rotates around the planet, the angle between them changes. This is what provides the lunar cycle, during which the view of the illuminated part of the satellite in the earth’s sky is different. The duration of this period is 29,5 days.
Moon phases affect plants in different ways. The increase in the visible part of the earth’s satellite is accompanied by the movement of energy and juices from the roots to the tops. This period is most favorable for planting plants in which the fruits ripen above the soil surface. The following activities are also effective on the growing moon:
- top dressing;
- cuttings;
- graft.
When the visible part of the earth’s satellite decreases, this has the opposite effect. Energy with juices moves in the opposite direction – from the tops down. During such a period, it is effective to plant root crops. This phase is also ideal for pest and weed control.
Special are the transitional periods – the new moon and the full moon. Plants in such phases are characterized by a state of rest, therefore, almost any intervention should be excluded. It is permissible to remove weeds, tie crops.
These are just the basic rules. In fact, there are many things to consider. One of them is the purpose of growing a particular crop – decorative, for seeds, greens, for storage.
