Have a generous harvest!

Today's gardeners are happy to use the lunar sowing calendar in tables and get a significant harvest. But it didn’t even occur to many that for the first time such information was prepared long before what was known and understandable to us modern world. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors discovered the direct influence on the entire living world of not only the daylight - the Sun, but also the night - the Moon.

As you know, the Moon accurately controls the ebb and flow of the sea elements, the level of groundwater, and the juices that fill the plant. And there is no mysticism in this, only long-established laws of nature and the universe. In certain lunar phases, plant growth subsides, and then accelerates with renewed vigor. Experienced gardeners will never start planting on the waning moon, despite all the hints from the sowing calendar for March 2017. After all, during the new moon and during the waning phase, the groundwater level drops, and the planted plant freezes, waiting for the full norm of life-giving moisture. And after a couple of days, the night star begins to increase. During this period groundwater rise - and the sprouts resume active life. This principle is quite simple and primitive.

In many ways, agriculture depends not only on the phases of the Moon, but also on the sign of the Zodiac in which it resides on a particular day. For example, female signs are more fertile (Pisces, Virgo, etc.), and during the period of male signs it is better to refrain from replanting and planting in open ground.
