The influence of a lunar day
7 lunar days are best suited for a variety of gardening and gardening work. On this day, the accumulation of energy and strength of the Earth continues in all green spaces. Life-giving energy enters the plant from the root system and moves to the top.
Therefore, the most favorable work on this lunar day is considered to help strengthen the roots, and, accordingly, the stems and tops of trees and other garden plants.
As practice shows, on this day, plants can easily transfer not only planting, but also transplanting from place to place. The introduction of various mineral and organic fertilizers into the soil on this day will also be very useful. In addition, all growing plants should be watered abundantly.
The 7th day of the moon is positive for harvesting cuttings, collecting seeds and herbs, as well as harvesting. However, it must be borne in mind that on this day it is necessary to collect only those fruits that are above the surface of the soil, in particular, berries and fruits, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce, etc.
On this day, it is favorable to loosen the plants, but it is better to avoid loosening in the root zone, since there is a high probability of damage to the root system.
What to do is not recommended:
- remove foliage and tops;
- trim branches and dive plants.
Influence of the day of the week
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
The first quarter of this period is considered the most appropriate time to stimulate organs above the ground, in the vegetative part of the plant. Natural juices and the so-called forces of the earth in the first quarter are concentrated in it, which allows the leaves and stems to actively develop. It is worth thinking about sowing cereals or planting plants whose fruits ripen inside the soil. This stage is considered suitable for the cultivation of medicinal herbs.
Drip application of liquid and fertilizer in low concentrations will be beneficial for your garden and garden flora. And for more intensive growth, it is worthwhile to do the pinching and removal of dying leaves. But you should not engage in aesthetics on the lawn: the grass on the growing moon will recover as quickly as possible. Grafting, planting plants in a permanent place and pinching will be successful, but it is better not to touch young seedlings, because in the first quarter of the lunar cycle they are especially sensitive.
It is better to start harvesting fruits from plants that produce fruits above the ground. It is they who, during the first quarter of the growing moon, are endowed with a pleasant taste and extraordinary juiciness. It is worth thinking about collecting spices, herbs and plants for making homemade tea. Remember also that flowers cut in the first quarter of the growing moon will delight you in a vase for a long time, and vegetables that you fermented or pickled will get a pleasant aftertaste.
The positive impact of the growing moon:
- Planting plants and active watering will have a beneficial effect on the yield;
- The growth of flora stimulates loosening of the soil and the introduction of weak dressings;
- The harvest harvested during the return of the moon to heaven has a delicate taste;
- An excellent time for pickling and pickling vegetable stocks.
Negative influence:
- You should not carry out serious manipulations with seedlings, they are too vulnerable;
- Mature plants run the risk of saping if they interact with their trunks.
Influence of the zodiac sign
For gardeners and gardeners, the time when the moon is located in the zone of influence of the constellation Leo is considered unfavorable. Plants prefer to gain strength and the vegetation process almost stops. However, there is a list of actions that will positively affect the life of your flora.
- Bulbs and other root crops can be planted in prepared soil;
- Getting rid of unnecessary shoots by pruning and pinching will have a good effect on fertility;
- It is not a bad idea to harvest underground crops or squat plants;
- The perfect moment has come for thermal processing of vegetables for the winter, salting or canning. Harvesting cabbage will be especially successful;
- During the period when the moon is in Leo, the plants take root well in a new place. But the plants planted now are unlikely to give a rich harvest next season;
- Fertilizing the soil where fruit trees or flowers grow is not recommended;
During the stay of the earthly satellite under the influence of the constellation Leo, you should not water your garden or garden flora, as well as collect quickly drying plants. These include, in particular, common white cabbage. Follow these tips and your harvest will not disappoint you.
