Hi Sara-Jane,
I got interested in lunar planting when we moved here two years ago.
My veg plot is some distance from the house and I have no water there except what I can catch or carry. Lunar planting sounded like a logical solution to the watering problem. Logical, because nobody would argue that the moon influences vast masses of water in the oceans and since plants are mostly water that same influence should affect them.
I have had good results- but! It's a bit like taking Glucosamine for your joints, there's no way I can prove to you that the moon's influence has helped me out.
I believe it has and follow the moon days for sowing, planting tending and harvesting. It works for me and that's enough for me.
It was a hot summer last year. I used grass clipping mulches around the toms, peppers etc and fed through cut away plastic milk bottles. The water in the feed was the only water I gave them. And I only fed once a week. I had very little blossom end rot either.
I did have some- but that seemed to be on the Harbinger variety only.
Looking at our store cupboard I have counted up that my wife made 31 litres of tomato soup, passata, and ketchup. Goodness knows what we will do with all that, but it came off the plot.
I'm not fanatical about Lunar Gardening. I don't do the cow horn stuff etc, just following the Lunar days off this site.
Like I said, it works for me and that's enough for me.
God Luck with your experiments!
