Influence of a lunar day
During this period, the Moon is in the waning phase. The vital activity of plants is declining: nutrients for the most part accumulate in the roots. Therefore, gardening work should be minimized.
It is best to devote this day to caring for the plants that form root crops. For example, potatoes, onions, Jerusalem artichoke, radishes, carrots are planted or harvested. During this period, many nutrients accumulate in the tubers.
Ripe seeds of crops producing root crops (radish, onion) now have a high germination rate.
It is possible to carry out surface loosening, careful removal of weeds, thinning. It is not advisable to feed the plants. It is also better to postpone irrigation work until later (with the exception of drought).
Vegetable beds, a flower garden and indoor plants should be left alone - now it is undesirable to disturb them.
But you can cut off excess branches and shoots of trees, plant seedlings. Manipulations with grafting fruit crops, as well as pinching grape shoots will go well.
The day is suitable for:
- planting root crops;
- collection of root crops and seeds of these crops;
- planting tree seedlings, forming a crown, grafting and pinching.
The day is not suitable for:
- active loosening and digging of beds;
- fertilization;
- irrigation works;
- care of any herbaceous plants not related to root crops.
Influence of the day of the week
On the first day of the week, the influence of the moon is paramount on human life. Having the peculiarity of introducing chaos and confusion in all matters, the celestial body can significantly spoil even those plans that did not seem to bring any special difficulties in implementation. Astrologers advise against planning global events for Monday, as the hostess of the day can turn everything upside down.If you cannot transfer the planned affairs, then you should listen to your own attitude. Perhaps the Moon itself will tell you how to behave in a given situation.
In the garden and in the garden, you can do mediocre things, the implementation of which will definitely not be able to harm the future harvest or flowering of plants.
It is strongly undesirable to arrange pruning of trees and shrubs. Such actions may not only fail to bring the expected fruiting and rapid flowering, but also ruin green spaces.
On Monday, new seedlings are not planted, and old plants are not transplanted from one place to another. Even the most favorable weather conditions will not help to overcome the influence of the moon, so survival rate and yield will be defective.
It is better to devote this day to:
- care for existing green crops.
- Cleaning dry foliage,
- fertilization of the soil and control of plant pests.
- picking ripe berries, fruits and vegetables.
Moon phase influence
This period has one very important difference, namely, a change in the circulation of nutrient juices in plants. At this time, the juices are directed towards the roots from the top. It is worth noting that on the waning moon, plants just slow down growth and activity. That is why from 3 to 8 March it is recommended to carry out manipulations with the aboveground part of the plants, while not touching the roots.
The period is favorable for planting root and bulbous plants, since all their juices are collected in the root part. By planting root plants for the waning moon, you help them gain more strength and become much tastier and juicier.
What not to do
As a rule, on a waning moon, the roots become too vulnerable and prone to various diseases. Therefore, at this time, it is recommended to postpone all work that is related to the ground. These include digging a site, loosening or watering plants.
When watering plants on a waning moon, you need to be very careful, as you run the risk of damaging the roots. Instead, focus on pruning trees or removing shoots. You can also do pest control and weed management for great results.
Work in the garden
If you are gardening, you can devote time to harvesting foliage and uprooting stumps or old trees. Harvesting is recommended only for aboveground plants.
The harvested fruits will be well stored, therefore, for the waning moon, you can make various preparations, as well as drying herbs or fruits.
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 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 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.
