The moon has always attracted humanity with its beauty and distant inaccessibility. At first, intuitively, and later on the basis of practical observations over thousands of years, the peoples involved in agriculture used the phases of the moon to determine the time for the beginning or termination of garden work.

How do moon phases affect planting

The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon keeps it at a certain distance from our planet, and thanks to the rotational motion, it allows people to divide the satellite’s motion into phases.

These phases are determined by the image, which is visible when the satellite is illuminated by the Sun and the shadow of the Earth. The phases of the moon are the new moon, the waning moon, the growing moon and the full moon.

Did you know? Many people during the full moon complain of insomnia and anxious sleep. All these symptoms remain even with tightly curtained windows, when moonlight is hidden from human eyes.

Despite numerous studies in this area, people still have doubts about the physical causes and evidence that the phases of the moon affect planting, yield and crop quality. It is known that the effect on sea tides is determined by the action of gravitational force and its effect on the movement of fluids.

The juice inside the plants, like any other liquid, is also guided by this principle, which means that it is subject to the influence of the earth satellite.

It is known that during the satellite growth phase, plants use their energy mainly for the development of leaves, stems, flowers, that is, those parts that are above the ground. Already at the stages of reduction, resources are directed to the plant root system and parts of the stem that are underground.

The waning moon is a time when plants consume more water and absorb more nutrients, so this period is suitable for watering and feeding. Also these days, root crops and plants are planted, for which a good root system is important.

A good time for planting and sowing plants is on the growing moon. At this time, the seeds have a higher degree and rate of germination.

Important! At the full moon and new moon do not plant seedlings, do not sow, do not transplant and do not carry out any other work with plants.

Auspicious days

According to the lunar calendar, the phases of the growing and waning moon are suitable for gardening and gardening. The period of the growing moon is more suitable for planting new plants and sowing seeds, and the waning one promotes root growth.

For sowing

As gardeners have long noticed, on the growing moon it is good to sow the seeds of flowers, vegetables and green crops. Seeds sown during this period quickly swell, peck and start to grow. Seedlings grow strong, squat, with a good root system.

In the future, such plants painlessly tolerate a pick or transplant. Vegetable seedlings or garden seedlings, planted in a permanent place at this time, quickly adapt, take root and generally transplant without problems. Favorable dates for planting seeds in September is the period from 4 to 6, 8, 11, 29th.

In September, you can sow potted seeds of indoor tomatoes or cucumbers, which will later be grown on the windowsill of the southern window. Each vegetable needs a separate container with a volume of at least 7 liters.

After the seeds hatch and their sprouts appear on the surface of the soil, high pegs are inserted into the soil of the containers for support (garter) and a lamp is placed next to the vegetables for illumination. Watering and feeding room vegetables in time, you can grow a small crop on the windowsill by the New Year.

Did you know? People who straighten their hair cut every month at the hairdresser notice that if they cut their hair on the growing moon, their hair grows much faster and the hair cuts out quickly.

For garden work

In September, watering of beds is carried out, on which garden crops continue to grow. These can be beds with late white or Peking cabbage, carrots, secondary crops of green crops (parsley, dill, sorrel). In September, any day is suitable for watering the garden, with the exception of such dates - 20-21, 28-29th.

In the first month of autumn, liquid fertilizing of two-year-old or perennial herbs and vegetables is carried out in the garden: perennial onion-batun, multilevel onion, parsley, sorrel, mint. Garden berry bushes and fruit trees, from which the crop has already been harvested, are also fed.

Liquid feeding of plants can be carried out from 1 to 13 and from 28 to 30 September.

The month is also suitable for feeding garden and horticultural crops with dry mineral fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) by mixing them with soil. After the start of autumn rains, fertilizers will dissolve in water and soak into the basal layer of garden and horticultural crops.

For dry top dressing such September dates are suitable - 20, 21 and the period from 27 to 29th.

The best fertilizer for garden crops is organics. Liquid top dressing based on chicken droppings or cattle manure can be done with your own hands. For this, half of the large capacity (garden barrel) is filled with bird droppings (cattle manure), after which they top up with water.

The contents of the container are mixed using a long stick, and then close the tank with a lid. The cover is needed so that nitrogen does not evaporate from the concentrated fertilizer, thereby reducing the quality of top dressing.

A week after the tank with the "aromatic" contents is held in the sun and the fertilizer is fermented, it can be used to feed plants.

These September days are suitable for treating garden and garden plants from diseases and pests - from the 15th to the 21st, 24th, 25th and 30th.

Important! The gardener needs to remember that the fertilizing solution obtained in this way has concentrated properties, it must be diluted with water before use. For each bucket of clean water add 0.5 l of concentrated fertilizer and water the plants under the root.

In September, gardeners and gardeners continue to harvest: dig up potatoes, table and sugar beets, carrots, and remove apples and pears from the trees. Suitable days for these works in September are the 15–21, 23, 26–28, and the 30th.

For work in the flower garden

Weeding of strawberries, raspberries, perennial green crops or flower beds in September can be carried out on the 15–16, 20–21, 23–25th. After weeding these days, weeds will not hatch among cultivated plants for a long time.

• In September from the 1st to the 11th, from the 17th to the 21st, 26th, 27th - the right time for:
• bookmarks of new beds and beds;
• arrangement of flower beds;
• bookmarks of new strawberry beds;
• planting garlic in the winter;
• bulb flower transplants;
• separation of maternal flower rhizomes;
• preparation of beds and flower beds for spring sowing of flower and vegetable seeds.

Did you know? Doctors have proven that the full moon provokes a relapse or exacerbation of mental illness in sick people.

For transplanting indoor flowers

Many flowers grown in our climate as annuals are actually perennials and can be transplanted into pots and containers in the fall.

Perennial flowers transplanted into pots will delight the owners of the house with beautiful flowering for several months, after which they will need to be moved to a room with low plus temperatures, where they can enter a state of rest before spring.

In March, flower pots with perennials are taken out into a well-lit room with a temperature not lower than +20 ... + 22 ° C, where they can grow young stems and leaves in a short time. Perennials that have wintered in the house can be cut or, if a grower wants it, divide the maternal root into several young plants.

For this type of transplant, the most successful dates will be September 1–4, 6–7, 12–16, September 21–22.

The most popular non-winter-hardy perennials of flowers that can be grown with a transplant in a pot for the winter:

• petunia;
• surfinia;
• pelargonium is zonal;
• pelvic pelvic;
• Waller balsam;
• New Guinea Balsam;
• decorative coleus.

A florist on the eve of winter often needs to work with indoor plants, especially if the soil in the flowerpots is depleted or the roots have grown so much that they no longer fit in the pot.

This is especially true for such large evergreen indoor plants as oleanders, hibiscus, ficus, dracaena. For these works, it is important to choose the days according to the lunar calendar.

Suitable and unsuitable days for working with indoor flowers:

1. Work on changing the land in a pot or transshipment of a plant into a new, more spacious container can be carried out on such dates - September 4, 6–7, 12–14, 30.
2. It is undesirable to transplant any indoor plants in the period from 24 to 25, as well as on September 27 and 28.
3. In September 2019, indoor plants can be irrigated under the root on any day, with the exception of such dates - September 6–7, 15–16, and September 26–28.
4. To combine liquid dressing with irrigation of the root layer of indoor flowers, such days of the month are suitable - 1–4, 19–22, 24–25, 29–30th.
5. Periodically, flowers need shaping or sanitary pruning. Any kind of pruning involves cutting off unnecessary branches, leaves that impede the access of the sun and air to the plant, as well as removing dry plant fragments. The most favorable days for pruning indoor flowers are such September dates - 1–4, 17–20, 29–30.
6. Cuttings of flowers and pruning of any kind are not made in September in the periods from 8 to 9 and from 24 to 28th.

Bad days for sowing and gardening

Pruning of branches on trees and removal of weeds from the beds should be carried out in a phase unfavorable for other work - a new moon or a growing moon. The choice of such a time period is due to the fact that both of these phases correspond to a weak attraction of the gravitational force and are believed to inhibit the growth of plants before the start of the next growth cycle.

• Fertilizing plants in the garden and garden is undesirable on such days of September:
• 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27th.

Omens and helpful tips

Popular rumors pass on weather signs from generation to generation, and it is worth listening to them, since this is the fruit of many years of practical observation of nature.

Popular signs of the weather in September:

1. In early September, flocks of birds fly south - wait for the early arrival of winter. A bird's wedge flies low above the ground, which means that the cold will not come soon.
2. The abundance of mushrooms in the forests promises a long and cold winter.
3. As the swans fly off to the warmer climes as the last of the birds, their departure will portend the imminent appearance of snow.
4. Leaves from an aspen tree fly around and fall to the ground: the front side to the sky means frosty winter, the wrong side to the clouds - a sign of the warm winter months.

Experienced gardeners recommend whitewashing fruit trees in late September. This is not done for beauty, but to protect the trees from sunburn and tearing of the bark. Whitewashing is carried out with a special solution, which includes: water, hydrated lime, copper sulfate.

Apply this solution to the trunk and lower part of the skeletal branches of fruit trees. This is conveniently done with a soft large paint brush.

The same protective whitewashing can be done with a thick clatter of clay and mullein. In addition to the protective effect, such a mixture simultaneously serves as an organic foliar top dressing for plants. To give a medicinal effect, several handfuls of sifted wood ash and a little copper sulfate are added to this solution.

Did you know? Unusual and strange events on the full moon are described in fantastic fiction, for example, a ball by Satan in Mikhail Bulgakov’s Master and Margarita.

Copper sulfate will serve as a remedy for pests and their larvae wintering in the bark of fruit trees. Determine whether the density of the solution is suitable for whitewashing can be by consistency. The most successful will be the consistency of thick sour cream.
