The moon and its influence: a look at the lunar sowing calendar of a gardener from a scientific point of view

Now a little about how they affect plant flora the lunar phases themselves. During the new moon period, the growth and development of plants is somewhat suspended, all vital juices are concentrated in the root system. During the new moon, it is better to refrain from planting seeds or replanting crops.

In the next growing phase, there is an active movement of juices from the roots up the stems to the leaves, fruits and top. At this moment, development and growth are activated. The period is favorable for transplanting and initial planting of crops that have an edible aerial part. However, the closer to the full moon this happens, the less the stem will stretch upward. At the same time, minor damage to the root system will not harm the plant itself.

At the moment of the full moon, vital juices are concentrated in the ground part, leaves and fruits. But immediately after it they begin to move in the opposite direction, that is, towards the roots. During the waning moon, it is best to plant root crops; pruning of trees is effective.

It is important to consider that the full moon and new moon are critical moments of each month. During this period, you should refuse active work(weeding, loosening, pruning) in the garden, since all plants are most vulnerable to damage.

The last month of spring is the time to study the lunar sowing calendar for May 2017 for gardeners and gardeners, and find out when to sow seeds, plant seedlings in open ground, replant plants, vaccinate, prune trees and shrubs in the garden.
