Has anyone tried gardening by the phases of the moon? What were the results like? Is there anything in it? Can you recommend any good books for a beginner?

A calloused palm and dirty fingernails precede a Green Thumb.

We've had this discussion before.

Try a forum search on...

"Lunar and planting"
"Moon and planting"
"Biodynamic"
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I know it's not the same so I should probably start a new thread, but does anyone live by Permaculture ways?  I've been reading a lot of their mags recently, very interesting.

LOAD OF COBBLER'S if you ask me.
If it wasn't for chemicals we'd be organic.
