use whichever seeds you like, employ the same methods of growing for each batch,plant batch (a)a week or two earlier,not according to the moon if you like and then plant batch (b)according to the moon,batch (b)will overtake batch(a),batch(b)will be a much more productive plant in everyway,try it. :idea:

How do you know?  What evidence do you base this on?  Is it a feeling in your water?

[shaun]

but why is it better though ?

[muntjac]

lets not knock the thinking . lets just try it  what can you lose in doing it . i dont belive in god but i dont knock those that do ,, so i am saying try it as well like wot i am    then we can draw our own conclusions

[shaun]

agree everyone to themselves like hockey says its just not backed up hard evidence is it.i just cant see it being extra special .nature dont wait for the moon it waits for the right conditions

[king cauli]

the right conditions exactly,which would mean anything which would benefit the plant,it does work,you have nothing to lose, i have found the method to work for me with exceptional results,try it for yourself,i want you to have bigger yeilds and more vigorous plants,you will be thanking me at the end of the growing season
 

[muntjac]

so when do i sow my seeds  cauli?

[king cauli]

you sow your seeds when you get the urge

[king cauli]

[muntjac]

sorry mate that packet is empty .. will the full moon in april do ?

[king cauli]

muntjac i know you are going to try this method out,try it on some onion seed over the next couple of weeks ,2 batches like i decribed,in pots in the glass house or indoors,and plant out when ready on two seperate occassions,one batch according to the moon and one not,i use onions as an example, as now is the time to start them off from seed

[muntjac]

ok mate will do

As a teenager I was living with my in-laws on a farm in Italy. You know what a lot of teenagers are...think they know everything.
I dismissed as superstitious nonsense when they would only plant at certain phases of the moon.
Many many years later I discovered that beans sown at the wrong time of the moon were very very prone to a small black beetle which burrowed into the bean then left a hole in the beans when dried. Didn`t happen if sown at the correct moon phase.
I bought a goatskin rug which drove me to distraction as it shed the hair forever more. Talking to the supplier when I had got fed up with the rug and thrown it out, was told that it was killed at the wrong phase of the moon and it would never have stopped losing the hair. I subsequently read this from a different source completely
So here I am over 50years later sowing /planting  by the moon.
Don`t knock it until you have tried it!

[GrannieAnnie]

I won't knock anything until I know its wrong, so will have a go too.

So if I sow my onion seeds when it says its a good day, do I have to then transplant the seedlings by the moon, or just when they are big enough cauli?

[tali]

so looking forward to doing this i'm a pagan/wiccan and its always recommended to plant by moonlight i don't have a garden and aquired my allotment in september last year bu thave really enjoyed some of the potatoes and red and blackcurrants from the former owner my sheds going on this week and have just had my polytunnels and greenhouse today can't wait.
