Moon phase influence
The young Moon, with its powerful energy, affects all living things, including the world of plants. On the indicated days of the lunar cycle, terrestrial representatives of the flora grow, bloom and bear fruit, since the nutrients and liquid contained in them are directed upward.
On the growing moon, plants should be planted in which the part located above the ground and what ripens on it is used for food. It's time to sow flowering and medicinal plants and herbs.
According to the lunar sowing calendar, this period should be devoted to gardening work: planting, pruning, grafting shrubs and fruit trees. Such actions on the growing moon stimulate rapid growth, flowering and fruit setting on plants.
The soil will respond favorably to work aimed at increasing its fertility. While the night star is in the first phase, farmers plow their land plots, apply fertilizers and water. The night star during the period of its activity makes the plants drink a lot of liquid from the soil.
Cuttings planted at this time will quickly take root, transplanting seedlings and removing unnecessary roots will normally take place. On the growing moon, the root system does not respond to minor damage. At the same time, there is a danger of roots dying off, so you need to treat them especially carefully.
Fruits and greens collected under the influence of the growing moon are characterized by nutritional value and juiciness, but are not suitable for long-term storage. A large amount of juice and nutrients leads to rapid spoilage.Berries, fruits, herbs are recommended to be processed into compotes, wine, juices, canned and dried. Vegetables pickled and pickled at this time are delicious.
The energy of the growing moon has a beneficial effect on:
- planting plants with an edible ground part;
- measures that improve the quality of the soil are weeding, digging, fertilization;
- pruning of branches of trees and shrubs, grafting of plants;
- collection of ripe fruits, vegetables, berries, herbs and medicinal herbs for subsequent salting and drying;
- preparation of vegetables and herbs (conservation, salting, starter culture, drying).
Young Moon negatively affects:
- work with the root system - the death of the plant is possible due to damage to the roots;
- harvesting for the winter.
Influence of the zodiac sign
The period is favorable for work on the ground. Cancer is considered one of the most fertile signs of the zodiac, but an important detail should be taken into account - if you plant seedlings during his reign, they will develop a magnificent root system, but their stems will not be particularly strong and often cannot withstand the weight of a ripe crop, which will be juicy. but perishable.
The most acceptable activities when the Moon is in Cancer:
- Sowing and planting crops, the fruits of which are not stored without processing.
- Soil cultivation - deep loosening, harrowing, top dressing, weed removal.
- Collection of berries and herbs, which are then salted or dried.
- Sourdough, juice extraction.
It is necessary to plant only plants that do not need a powerful stem, that is, those that are attached to the supports. The harvest is impressive, but it can also damage the stem, and the fruits will grow too juicy to be preserved for a long time in their natural form. Therefore, they need to be dried, salted, pickled.
The production of juices and nectars will become timely, since the harvested berries and fruits are literally saturated with moisture.
The right time has come for active ground operations. Harrowing, plowing and digging, weeding beds, fertilizing fruit crops would be a good idea.
What is not recommended to do now:
- Planting tree seedlings, since the moment is not very favorable for the development of a strong trunk.
- Spraying with insecticides. When the moon is in the constellation of Cancer, it is impossible to use chemicals to combat pests, fungal diseases, because plants absorb everything especially actively.
Pay attention to roots and bulbs - they won't stay safe for long. Enumerate if necessary.
