Every gardener and gardener knows that the fruiting and yield of cultivated plants depend on the observance of planting dates. The lunar calendar drawn up for the current year will help to correctly determine the dates for sowing seeds and planting seedlings in open ground. Today we will tell you what useful tips and recommendations the gardener’s lunar calendar for Belarus for 2020 contains.
The influence of the moon and its phases on plants
Even our ancestors noticed the indelible effect of the phases of the moon on plants. Thus, the vegetation planted on the rising moon quickly adapted to the new growing conditions and intensively grew.
Seed material sown on the waning moon gave a low percentage of germination, and seedlings planted in open ground did not take root well. Flower growers noted weak flowering and low decorative characteristics of vegetation grown in the garden and in flowerbeds. Therefore, it was decided not to plant cultivated and ornamental plants in the ground on the waning moon. This period can be used for other work in the garden and in the garden: watering and fertilizing, loosening the soil and removing weeds, spraying vegetation from harmful insects and various diseases.
The most “dangerous” are the phases of the new moon and full moon. According to experienced gardeners and gardeners, during the periods of a new and full moon, it is better to completely abandon work with the earth and vegetation.
