The 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 for 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 for any herbaceous plants not related to root crops.
Day of the week influence
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 fertilizing.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 what 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
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 on 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.
Influence of the zodiac sign
The period is favorable for work on the ground. Cancer is considered one of the most fertile signs of the Zodiac, but an important detail should be taken into account - if you plant seedlings during his reign, they will develop an excellent root system, but their stems will not be particularly strong and often cannot withstand the weight of a ripe crop, which will be juicy. but perishable.
The most acceptable activities when the Moon is in Cancer:
- Sowing and planting crops, the fruits of which are not stored without processing.
- Soil cultivation - deep loosening, harrowing, top dressing, weed removal.
- Collection of berries and herbs, which are then salted or dried.
- Sourdough, juice extraction.
It is necessary to plant only plants that do not need a powerful stem, that is, those that are attached to the supports. The harvest is impressive, but it can also damage the stem, and the fruits will grow too juicy to be preserved for a long time in their natural form. Therefore, they need to be dried, salted, pickled.
The production of juices and nectars will become timely, since the harvested berries and fruits are literally saturated with moisture.
The right time has come for active ground operations. Harrowing, plowing and digging, weeding beds, fertilizing fruit crops would be a good idea.
What is not recommended to do now:
- Planting tree seedlings, since the moment is not very favorable for the development of a strong trunk.
- Spraying with insecticides. When the moon is in the constellation of Cancer, it is impossible to use chemicals to combat pests, fungal diseases, because plants absorb everything especially actively.
Pay attention to roots and bulbs - they won't stay safe for long. Enumerate if necessary.
