The influence of a lunar day
The waning moon does not contribute to productive activities in the garden area. All plants during this period seem to freeze, stopping in growth and almost not responding to external influences. On the 26th lunar day, it is best to plan further work, purchase equipment, seeds and fertilizers.
Garden work such as pruning and removing damaged and unnecessary branches and shoots, cleaning fallen leaves, and pest and disease control will be successful.
Gardeners can harvest carrots, beets, potatoes, remove excess shoots, dried tops and leaves. It is recommended to do top dressing and spraying of plants, dig up or loosen the soil. The day is suitable for cleaning the site: weeding, thinning seedlings, cleaning unnecessary plantings.
The 26th lunar day is not suitable for watering seedlings and working with plant roots.
The day has a positive effect on:
- cleaning fallen leaves, weeding weeds and unnecessary plantings;
- pruning trees and shrubs, feeding, spraying against pests;
- improving the quality of the soil: loosening, digging, fertilizing.
Negative impact of the day:
- watering any plantings on the site;
- work with plant roots.
Day of the week influence
Wednesday is the day of the week under the auspices of the planet Mercury. Planting and sowing bring especially good results on this day. The soil becomes fertile and rich in nutrients. If you plant seedlings in open ground, then it will bring good and large fruits.
This day of the week is perfect for absolutely any work, both in the garden and in the garden. Plus, the timing is perfect for making plans for the future.
Harvesting on this day will pleasantly surprise the gardener with its volumes. The harvest will be rich and ripe. It will be perfectly stored both in the processed form, and if you do not touch it for the near future. The taste of the fruit will be intense.
Take up work on the improvement of the garden and the site: collect and burn the fallen leaves. Free the soil from weeds, they take away nutrients from beneficial plants.
Top dressing carried out on this day will nourish the soil with useful substances. However, try not to overdo it. Excessive use of organic matter can damage the root system of plants, organic additives can simply burn the roots.
Favorable features of the environment:
- Sowing seeds and planting seedlings will be successful, you will get a strong and large harvest.
- This is the phase of active plant growth, so feel free to carry out work related to pinching, pinching and pruning.
- Top dressing of the soil will have the desired effect and saturate the soil with useful substances.
The time is right for plowing, digging and loosening the soil.
Do not neglect the procedure for watering plants, especially if the weather is hot.
Moon phase influence
At this time, the activity of plants begins to gradually decrease, all their energy and power accumulate in the rhizome.
Things to do
Since the plants are not currently disposed to rapid growth and the formation of young shoots, it is worth doing cleaning on the personal plot:
- ground tops;
- fallen leaves;
- weed grass;
- dried plants;
- backyard territory.
Sick or dead shrubs and trees can be uprooted. The formation of the crown, pruning of lateral shoots, branches will have a good effect on the state of garden vegetation.
What is undesirable to do
The moon in the 4th waning phase is not a very suitable time for planting seedlings and sowing seeds of plants with ground-based fruit formation. Planted in a given time period, they will:
- grow weak, short;
- take root badly;
- have less resistance to disease.
To a lesser extent, this applies to bulbous and root crops, in which the underground part is the main one, so they more easily tolerate the negative impact on their upper part.
In the last phase, it is worth abandoning watering, loosening the soil, digging it up. The roots are now sensitive to external influences and can negatively respond to damage, and excessive moisture can trigger the decay process.
Fertilization is allowed. It is allowed to spray the ground parts of vegetation with special agents against diseases and harmful insects.
The harvest of root crops collected during this period will have a short shelf life, the fruits will differ in wateriness. They can be canned, like ground fruits harvested at the same time. But salting or fermenting is not desirable.
Influence of the zodiac sign
Gemini is a sign of Air. Its main qualities are dryness and low yield. Therefore, this period is not suitable for sowing seeds or planting seedlings. Growing up, such plants develop the root system as much as possible, but to the detriment of all other parts. As a result, they have a very weak stem that needs support. In the future, the taste of the crop also suffers, and the aroma, if there is, is very weak.
Because of all of the above, it is highly undesirable to plant or transplant plants in this lunar phase. Carefully caring for weakened specimens will take a lot of effort, but will not live up to expectations. When the Moon is in Gemini, watering should be avoided. Despite this, a number of gardening works during this period can and should be performed.
What to do during the growing phase
Planting or transplanting ornamental shrubs, flower seedlings, as well as sowing flower seeds will go well. Climbing plants can also be planted. It is recommended to transplant strawberries, strawberries (propagated by a mustache). This is the right time for collecting medicinal herbs, mowing.
What to do in the waning phase
This is a very good time for loosening the soil, applying mulch, hilling potatoes, weeding, removing weeds and weak ovaries.You can do the formation of the crown of trees and shrubs, pruning shoots. Digging of carrots, beets and other root crops is carried out. The roots of medicinal plants are extracted, ripe fruits are harvested.
