Lunar sowing calendar
In order for plants to grow healthy and strong, when planting seeds, you should pay attention to favorable days for this according to the lunar calendar. It is believed that vegetable crops, the fruits of which appear on the aerial part (tomatoes, peppers), are planted during the waxing moon, and the plants, whose fruits are formed in the ground (potatoes, roots) – during the waning moon.
How to use the lunar calendar for sowing
The lunar calendar is used in agricultural work to obtain a good harvest. It is compiled for a year, while taking into account two important factors. The first is the phase the Moon is in at the moment. The second is its position in relation to the signs of the zodiac. Based on these data, a conclusion is made about what kind of work a gardener and a gardener can do on a certain day.
The moon has four phases. The first phase starts from the new moon and ends with the middle of the waxing moon. The next phase lasts until the full moon. The third period lasts until the middle of the waning moon. The last period lasts until the new moon. Scientists have found that when the moon is in the first and third phases, the root system of plants develops well, during this period it is more saturated with nutrients. At this time, it is necessary to engage in planting seedlings, watering and feeding.
In the second and fourth phases, the terrestrial part of plants grows more actively. In these periods, it is better to carry out sowing work, weeding and foliar feeding. On the new moon and on the full moon, it is not recommended to engage in grafting and planting. Plants are grafted during the growing and waning moon, during this period it is desirable to carry out fertilization and cuttings.
It is not recommended to sow or plant any plants twelve hours before and after the onset of the full moon and new moon, because during these periods they will be vulnerable
Why take into account the presence of the moon in the zodiac sign
It is also necessary to take into account what sign of the zodiac the moon is in. If she is in the constellations from the Earth group (Virgo, Capricorn or Taurus), such days are favorable for feeding root crops. If the Moon is waning and the signs of Fire – Taurus and Aries – pass, these days you need to feed fruit trees and aboveground vegetables. Watering is carried out during the influence of watermarks. Weeding is carried out when the waning moon is in Capricorn. During this period, the sap of the plant moves down the stem and nourishes the roots well. This time will also be favorable for planting and collecting root crops, rooting seedlings.
All earthworks are performed when the Moon is in Libra (the sign of Air), in the signs of Earth and Water. Moreover, its phase does not matter
The signs of the elements of Fire (Leo, Sagittarius, Aries) affect plants above the ground. At this time, it is recommended to carry out work on the care of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, fruit trees and shrubs. The signs of the elements of Air (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini) act on the flowers of plants. These days, they pay attention to caring for shrubs and flowers. The signs of the element of Water (Cancer, Fish, Scorpio) affect the leaves. When the Moon is in these signs, you need to plant leafy vegetables or take care of them.
