The influence of a lunar day
The 4th lunar day falls on the first days of the growing moon. At this time, there is a revival of vital activity, rapid growth, which was preceded by a period of slowing down of processes. For this reason, labor activity in the garden, garden plot will be very effective. Measures to improve plant growth will yield positive benefits in the form of a rich harvest.
For what actions the day is favorable
Due to the fact that during this period there is an increased movement of nutrient juices through the plant, leading to increased growth, fruit setting, seed formation, the time is ideal for:
- sowing seeds;
- planting seedlings;
- plant transplant procedures.
The seedlings begin to very actively absorb nutrients and moisture, therefore, abundant watering, the introduction of useful fertilizers that promote the development of fruits, especially on the upper stems of plants, will be important. Loosening the soil, weeding will be useful.
Harvesting
Harvesting is very successful for fruits that grow above the ground. On this day, you can pick juicy fruits and vegetables. They will contain the maximum amount of nutrients and have excellent taste.
Cuttings
A good time for grafting trees and shrubs. Grafting and pinching plants will be successful. The additional sprout will take root well.
What to do not recommended
On the 4th lunar day, you should not trim shoots and form a crown. On this day, all the energy of the plant is concentrated in its upper part.By manipulating it, you can not only harm the plant, but even destroy it.
Influence of the day of the week
According to the lunar calendar, Tuesday is such an active day that you can “move mountains”, and the results of all the actions you have taken exceed all expectations. This activity is explained by the fact that this day is under the influence of the “red planet” - Mars.
By choosing Tuesday to work in the garden, you will be rewarded for your efforts many times over. It is important to note that even the most difficult work will be easy on Tuesday, and your energy will quickly recover.
For this day, you can not hesitate to plan planting, cultivation of the soil, as well as uprooting or pruning of trees. This is the only way you will get an excellent result, while making a minimum of effort. On Tuesday, it is also recommended to carry out not only planting plants, but also their fertilization. You can harvest, especially if you want the plants to continue to bear fruit well and not get sick. This is a good day for stocking up products like home spins.
So on Tuesday you can also do the following:
- Implement voluminous work on the personal plot.
- Perform soil preparation, planting and fertilization of plants.
- Replenish stocks for long-term storage.
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 that is 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. During the period of its activity, the night star 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, the danger of the roots dying off remains, so you need to treat them with particular care.
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 when the Moon is in Aries is regarded by knowledgeable gardeners as a time of drought and a halt in plant growth. Aries is a sign related to the element of fire, therefore it symbolizes a hot period in nature.
At this time it is not worth it:
- Plant seedlings in the ground;
- Sow seeds;
- Root seedlings;
- Transplant plants;
- Excessively moisten the soil.
This time is dangerous due to dryness, so you should not carry out planting and transplant operations. Any manipulations with the soil should be postponed. The soil is dry and needs high-quality makeup. It is unlikely that gardeners will be able to sufficiently moisturize the soil on this day.
Seeds planted in the ground will not sprout, they will simply "suffocate" in the soil. It is not worth planting seedlings in the ground on this day, as it risks drying out and burning in the sun. She will not have enough strength to grow.
Even large and strong plants are not recommended to be replanted, because it will not be easy for them to adapt in dried soil. Soon after transplanting, the plants will begin to lose strength.
Harvesting
The time period when the Moon is in Aries is ideal for harvesting. The harvest on this day will be ripe and sweet. It can be canned and processed. The canned crop can be used for a year - it can be stored for a long time.
On this day, you can rid the beds of excess weed. Weeds consume too much nutrients from the soil, so it is best to get rid of them.
This time is good for cutting flowers. Bouquets made from flowers picked that day will last longer than usual.
It is recommended to replenish dried herbs. The medicinal herbs collected during this period of time will dry out quickly and for several years they will perfectly keep their healing effect and benefit you during seasonal illnesses.
You can also dry herbs, which are then ideal for seasoning various dishes. On this day, any cut grass will dry out in a matter of hours, which will have a positive effect on its medicinal properties.
