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 (except for 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.

For landscaping, arranging flower beds, flower beds, lawns, 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
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
This lunar period is unfavorable for gardening work. The sign of Aquarius is an infertile sign. For sowing seeds and planting, the time is considered unhelpful - the plants will lack taste and characteristic odor.
The following procedures should be abandoned:
- from sowing seeds;
- transplanting seedlings;
- planting fruit trees and berry bushes.
The sown seeds will give few shoots, the seedlings grow poorly, get sick a lot, and bring a low yield. Planting flowering crops these days leads to a small number of inflorescences, moreover, without beauty and smell, with underdeveloped stems.
On this day, the energy is unstable due to the intermediate stage between the phases of the Moon. Therefore, you should not plant and replant trees and garden bushes. Under the influence of the sign of Aquarius, seedlings develop poorly, give little fruit, often get sick and are spoiled by pests.
In this location of the Moon, it is recommended to do preventive work on the site:
- carry out sanitary pruning;
- treat the garden from pests;
- clean the weeds, last year's tops;
- harvest;
- water greenhouse seedlings;
- apply organic and mineral fertilizers under the trees;
- cultivate the soil.
It is also important on this day to do weeding, hilling, loosening the soil, spraying trees and bushes, and you can also lay the crop in storage - it will be well preserved.
