The influence of a lunar day

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.

- harvesting 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.
Influence of the day of the week

There are a number of jobs that are recommended for this day.

Negative influence
For landscaping, arranging flower beds, flower beds, a lawn, it is worth choosing another day of the week, since this type of activity will be negatively affected by the heavy energy of Saturn.
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 at the moment are not 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
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:
- 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 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 within 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.
