Thats a great site thanks, been looking for something like that for ages! sorry to be thick here, but when it says planting does it mean sowing or planting out? or both?

[supersprout]

I do both - belt n braces

[king cauli]

planting out and seeds, last year i tried the method thouroughly  with garlic,later plantings aare 4 times bigger than earlier ones,i couldnt believe my eyes,scientists have been studying the moon plantings since the 30's,but early m,an was using the same method a long time before calandars.waffle,waffle,waffle

[Eristic]

In all the years I have been gardening the moon has never failed to come accross the sky every day. How can the phases of the moon possibly have any effect on the growing or germinating of plants?

I put it to you one and all that if the soil is cultivated and at an optimum temperature for the plant, it will grow even if the moon failed to appear.

i just dont get it  :?

[king cauli]

just because you cannot see it means that the moon does not do its magic?
the moon is always present ,the tides move ,lakes and rivers move,even the land ebbs and folws between an inch and 12 inches a day,the moons gravity affects all things with a water content,and if the moon was never to show your plants and you for that matter would not be here.

[shaun]

explain then how planting something when the moons out differs from planting when theres no moon ?

[king cauli]

plants have been grown in the lab and not been able to see it,but can still feel the gravitational pull and scientists have proven this method of growing to work and likewise myself.

click on link at top of page :idea:

[shaun]

light, water and the correct temperature is all thats needed
how can you prove that a plant can feel the gravitational pull,
havnt they grown plants on the space station ?

[shaun]

ive clicked on it and i'm not buying it.

[king cauli]

farmers have used the method for thousands of years,its proven itself worthy time and time again,employ your own method with half your crop and employ the moon method with the other half,keep everything else the same ,i.e growing medium and temp and so forth,the results will speak for themselves,nothing ventured and all that :!:

this is what you can and not plant today
Moon in Virgo: This is a Earth sign. It is a good time to plant Root plants like Carrot, Potato, and Onion, but it would not be a good time to plant Leaf plants like Lettuce, Cabbage, and Celery.

not a chance sow any of them today and they will die because its to cold ,moon or no moon.
