The influence of a lunar day
Not a very good time to work with green spaces. They stop growing and become painfully sensitive. This is especially true for the root system of plants.
It is extremely undesirable to develop vigorous activity - the day is unfavorable for both sowing and planting, transplanting seedlings. This applies to both flowers and more powerful trees and shrubs. The roots are too vulnerable and can get damaged, therefore, it is not worth harrowing, loosening, hilling. But the present moment is perfect for removing weeds on the site, thinning shoots and trimming unnecessary shoots.
The first day of the lunar calendar is perfect for collecting seeds and root crops such as potatoes and Jerusalem artichoke. If you collect the seeds right now, they will give amicable shoots, and the harvest will delight you with its generosity.
The 1st day of the moon period is extremely responsive to everything that happens around, and the flowers also react accordingly, as a result of which it is preferable to cancel all plantings, allowing the plants to calmly survive this period and gain strength for development.
What you can do useful:
- Thin out green spaces if sprouted too densely.
- Get rid of weeds - their root system is also sensitive, and by removing them today, you will get rid of a significant part of the weed forever.
- Harvest potatoes and Jerusalem artichoke.
- Remove already ripe seeds.
What is better not to do:
- You cannot sow, plant, transplant.
- Do not loosen and weed the soil, as there is a high probability of root damage.
Influence of the day of the week
Since ancient times, the last day of the week has been associated with positivity and joy. After all, the sun is the patron saint of Sunday, which means that the day is charged with positive energy, which is best used for rest and entertainment. That is why it is better to postpone hard, dirty work to the next week.
Experienced gardeners recommend limiting yourself to watering plants and applying fertilizers. It is this stage of work that will fill the plants with strength and charge them with solar energy for further growth and development.
Also on this day you can do aesthetic activities. The creation of flower beds and living fences can be quite successful. Such work will be enjoyable and positive, and the result will exceed expectations.
Digging or plowing work should definitely be postponed. This dirty job is not for Sunday. Better to plan all stages of work on weekdays.It is not yet recommended to engage in thinning beds, removing weeds, cutting or uprooting shrubs.
If there are seasonal fruits and vegetables that need to be harvested, you should limit yourself to the amount that the family can consume that day. It is better to transfer harvesting for the winter and collecting seeds to Monday.
Sunday does not imply parasitism. This day of the week is special and offers the following possibilities:
- Preparation and scheduling of work on weekdays;
- Carrying out aesthetic and decorative work in the garden, flower bed or vegetable garden. These are those that bring positiveness;
- Basic plant care work that requires minimal labor costs;
- Collection of fruits and vegetables for food.
And in order not to disrupt the positive energy of the day, it is worth warning the execution of the following work:
- Do not take on hard and dirty work;
- Planting, thinning, tearing weeds, breaking branches, uprooting shrubs is prohibited;
- It is better to postpone the collection of gifts for blanks to other days.
No wonder it is said that Sunday is a day of rest and joy. The very energy of this day adjusts to calmness. And if you follow the above rules, you can gain strength and positive energy for a whole week.
Moon phase influence
New Moon is a time for creation and reflection. During this period, it is not recommended to carry out work in the garden for sowing and replanting plants, plowing and fertilizing the soil. Harvesting is also recommended to be postponed until the next favorable phase.
During this period, any manipulations with the soil should be postponed. Planting seedlings or planting seedlings in this phase can bring death to the plant, since it has not yet gained enough strength. You will receive a minimal and unripe crop from the plants that will be planted that day. A transplant is also fraught. It will be difficult for the plant to take root in a new place. It will spend a lot of its strength and energy on adapting to new conditions, so it can soon become seriously ill.
It is not recommended to sow seeds in the ground. Seedlings will not germinate. Most of the seeds will die, and the amount that remains will not live long in the ground. Sowing is better to postpone indefinitely, so you will be more confident in seed germination.
Any procedures that involve loosening the soil should be postponed. Digging up the soil is not recommended. Loosening the soil can lead to disastrous results: you seriously risk touching and damaging the root system of plants useful for the garden. Plowing the ground is a serious operation and it is worth choosing the right time to complete it.
Top dressing of the soil should be transferred. The introduction of fertilizers into the soil during the New Moon phase is considered ineffective. The root system of plants on this day is not tuned to the absorption of nutrients from the soil, so it is better to fertilize the soil the next day.
You can tackle the fallen leaves in the garden. If foliage is susceptible to disease, then it is better to burn it in a safe place. If you are completely confident in the health of your trees, then foliage can be used to create a compost heap.
Manipulation of watering and spraying plants is not prohibited. Do not forget to treat plants from pests, if necessary.
Positive aspects of influence:
- Ideal time to plan future plantings;
- Spraying will give positive results;
- Watering is essential for many plants during this phase.
Negative aspects of influence:
- Procedures concerning the digging of soil are prohibited;
- Planting or replanting plants will not bring good results;
- Plant feeding will be useless.
The 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 transplanted, because it will not be easy for them to adapt in dried soil. Soon after transplanting, the plants will begin to lose their vigor.
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 herb supplies. 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.
