All processes in nature are undoubtedly interconnected, it is therefore not surprising that celestial bodies have a definite influence on the rate of growth and development of plants.
Our ancestors discovered this relationship, and in the modern world it remains only to use the accumulated knowledge, using lunar calendars, which can become the second dacha book reference book for the coming year.
What is the lunar sowing calendar for?
Taking into account the name of the mentioned calendar, it is easy to assume that it is with its help that people determine the best time for planting a particular culture. In fact, it is very important, of course, if you want to get a rich and tasty crop of above-ground and underground fruits of various plants. The main role in the selection of suitable and unsuitable days for each of them is played by the lunar phases, and exactly how they affect the growth and development of seedlings, we will tell you now.
Effect of lunar phases on planting
The lunar phases are special states of the satellite of the Earth, which are explained by the change in the intensity of its illumination by the sun.. It is these processes that can explain the fact that on different days of the month we see different forms of the moon. In total, there are four lunar phases: growing, full moon, waning, and a new moon.
Did you know? From the Earth, it seems to us that the Moon is perfectly flat and is a sphere. In fact, it is more oval, which is explained by the influence of the gravitational field of our planet.
Each of them has its own characteristics and affects the state of all life on our planet in different ways.
- Waxing Crescent - characterized by the appearance in the sky of a thin sickle of the heavenly body, which with time will be more and more rounded. Together with the Moon, everything living on our planet grows, but only what is above it. This means that all cultures planted in the new month will grow upwards. In addition, it is in the days of the growing Moon that it is recommended to inoculate and replant tree saplings, to carry out any land works associated with watering and cultivating the land. Together, they will only contribute to a good survival rate and the further growth of planted crops.
- Full moon - a period lasting only three days, so you have to really try to have time to do everything you need in the garden and garden. Planted in full moon plants more develop leaf and stem parts, but to a much lesser extent, the roots and fruits. This is a good time for sowing and further care of plants, in particular, for weeding, pest and weed control. If necessary, mulching of the soil is allowed. If at the full moon the moon is not in the water signs of the zodiac, then you can start collecting seeds. In addition, in these three days, you can harvest the preservation, but preferably only those fruits and vegetables that require heat treatment, otherwise rolled up banks can explode. Pruning, grafting and pasynkovanie plants in the full moon is not carried out.
- Waning moon - the time from the full moon to the new moon, when the ideally round heavenly body gradually becomes that thin serpik. All the days of the waning moon are considered the ideal time for planting root crops. Any transplantation of garden crops and pruning of trees should be postponed until more favorable days. If necessary, you can dig potatoes, bulbous plants, root vegetables and legumes. You can spend root dressing.
- New moon - the time when the Moon in the sky seems to us very thin, but in fact it is at an equal distance from the Earth and the Sun. A day before the New Moon, at the very moment of the appearance of the new moon, and even a day after that, all work in the garden and in the garden should be done with utmost care. It is not worth planting, sowing, planting or spuding now, because none of the above will bring the expected results. On the first and last days of the new moon phase, weeds can be removed and pest control can be carried out. Acceptable and pruning shrubs and trees, pinching vegetables. In the peak of the new moon, the plants should be left alone and not even touched, so as not to deprive them of their vitality and energy.
Favorable days for work in June
In June, the bulk of the planting work has already been done, and it remains only to sow the plants that produce crops several times per season (for example, dill or parsley). At the same time, it is necessary to know exactly when it is possible to deal with the land, and when it is worth refraining from hilling, mulching or dressing of already growing crops. It will be useful to learn about the features of gardening, as well as to determine the nuances of working with a flower garden.
We recommend you to learn how to make a flower garden with your own hands.
