Scientists have proved that the growth and development of crops really depends on the motions of the Earth’s satellite. In pursuit of the harvest, farmers monitor the movements of the planets, but not everyone understands what happens to plants, how the Moon changes its germination rates.

The impact of the lunar phases on the activity of the gardener:

• The new moon passes within 24 hours. The period is used for harvesting weeds, dried and dead shoots. Any action to prepare seedlings is strictly prohibited.
• From the New Moon and for 11 days, high and leafy crops are sown, closer to the full moon they recommend planting undersized. When the moon grows, they recommend loosening the soil and pruning.
• The full moon includes 3 days. Suitable for pest control and uprooting of weeds. During this period, all affected cultures respond well to treatment.
