Moon phase influence
The full moon is a period of time when absolutely any action is worth doing, after consulting your intuition. This time, which gives a lot of energy, your task is to understand how to apply it correctly so as not to waste it.
Since ancient times, people have known that the full moon is the time of the most active phase of plant growth. Based on this, it is generally accepted that this time is favorable for various works performed with the soil. You can apply fertilizer to the soil during watering, as well as during digging. The soil will be supplied with nutrients, which will have the best effect on the plants.
Plants can be planted and replanted - they will easily and quickly take root in a new place, giving an excellent harvest. At this time, you can actively combat weeds, which take away nutrients from other plants.
Work on digging up the soil, loosening the soil, plowing can be safely carried out. The full moon will have a beneficial effect on this type of activity.
It is worth refraining from pruning the branches of plants. You can easily go overboard with these operations, as you will be overly active on this day. Plants can seriously weaken and even die as a result of your actions.
You should start harvesting seeds for next year. Such planting material will be strong and sturdy. Giving good shoots next year.
On this day, you can make blanks, replenishing stocks for the winter. They will be stored for a relatively long time and will not lose their rich taste.

It will be good if you eat the harvested crop immediately after harvest. The collected fruits must be recycled, otherwise they will not be able to be stored for a long time.
