Gardening with the moon



The moon is more that just a pretty thing to look at, at night.  It changes the way water is retained with its waxing and waning.

 

Either pushing or pulling water from the surface.  Needless to say you can even do your gardening according to the moon faces.

At new moon the gravity forces of pulling water up is at it’s strongest you will notice that if you water your plants the water stay longer on the surface.  This is a good time to plant leafy plants, such as lettuce, spinach and cauliflower.  This is also a good time to fertilize your garden and all the nutrients will be pulled into the earth.

 

The second quarter it is a good idea to mow the lawn if you want it to grow faster and it is also considered a good time to plant especially two days before the full moon.  The type of plants that likes to be planted as this time of the month is plants that produce their seed inside the fruit like tomato and beans.  This is also a good time to cut your hair if you want it to grow faster.

 

After full moon water is pulled down into the earth and it makes the soil more “soggy”.  To get rid of a wart take a dried bean rub it on the worth on one side and put it in toilet paper.  Do not touch the side that you have rubbed on the worth.  Then burry the bean in the ground with lots of water so that it can rot away.  \While putting in the earth chant “as the bean fades away so will my worth”.  This is a good time to plant plants that have bulbs or rooty fruits such as beetroot and carrots.

 

When the moon is at the fourth quarter you don’t want to plant anything.  The earth and the plants require rest at this time of the month.  You can prune or harvest at this time of the month.  This is also a good time to cut grass if you do not want it to grow back quickly again.
