Land owners have long been checking and planning their work with the phases of the moon. Such a calendar is published annually by many gardening publications. We will find out what works can be carried out in August 2019, and how to coordinate them with the moon phase.

How do moon phases affect planting

Plant biorhythms are significantly affected by the phases of the Earth's satellite. They are affected by the growth or decrease of the moon, as well as the passage of the zodiac constellations.

Did you know? According to scientists, on a new moon, mortality from heart attacks is 20% higher than with a full moon.

Let us examine in detail the effect of the location of the moon on crops grown by man:

  1. New moon. It is believed that the energy supply in all living organisms at this time decreases and any work on the land is undesirable. You can only do treatments against pests and diseases, pinching and pinching. This period captures 3 days: the day before, the new moon itself and the day following it.
  2. Growing The Earth satellite pulls energy upwards, which gives an impetus to the development of the aerial parts of plants. The green part of the plants (tomatoes and cabbage, greens, grains, melons and legumes), as well as flowers, bushes and trees will grow well. The most favorable is the first quarter with the passage of the constellations Pisces, Aries, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius or Taurus. The crops that were planted at this time will be juicy, with deliciously poured fruits.
  3. Full moon. It lasts only one day, it is extremely unfavorable for landings. It is better to devote this time to cultivating the land or cultivating it against diseases and pests. On this day, it is good to collect seeds.
  4. Waning. When the moon is waning, its energy goes down to the roots of plants. This is a great time for planting root crops and bulbs. In the third quarter it is good to plant perennials (bushes, trees, flowers). They will take root and take root in a new place, especially when passing through the constellations Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Cancer, Scorpio or Libra.

The passage of the Earth’s satellite through the zodiac constellations and their effect on cultivated cultures can be divided into groups of signs:

  1. Fiery (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). They have a positive effect on the crops from which the fruits are harvested (tomatoes, legumes and melons, bushes and fruit trees).
  2. Earthly (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn). They have a beneficial effect on the roots, so this period is best devoted to planting and caring for root crops or tubers.
  3. Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). These days it’s good to take care of the flowers. Cut roses that day will stand for a long time. It is optimal to plant and care for crops such as sunflower, cauliflower, broccoli, artichokes.
  4. Aquatic (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). This time is better spent on leafy crops (cabbage, spices and herbs).

Garden work in August 2019

At the end of summer, the harvesting of berries and vegetables and their harvesting is carried out in the garden and vegetable garden. Gardeners continue to care for flowering and fruiting crops - they are watered, fed, weeding and loosening the earth around them, fighting diseases and pests. Many plants can already collect and store seed material.

Important! For breeding, you need to choose strong rhizomes with healthy kidneys. Sick and dead parts are cut and sprinkled with chopped charcoal or cut with potassium permanganate.

Supporters of organic farming often sow the vacant beds often with green manure to increase soil fertility. Thrifty owners manage to sow early crops for harvest in the fall (radishes, peas, cucumbers, lettuce). In the southern regions they can be sown even on open beds, and in the north they are planted in shelters.

Seedlings of two-year-old flowers (forget-me-nots, daisies, pansies), planting, transplanting and dividing bushes of peonies, perennial asters, primroses, phloxes, lilacs are being planted. It’s not too late to divide and plant the irises. In late August, the onion planting begins - daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths and freesia.

Pruning flowering shrubs (lilac, viburnum). Cropped branches can be rooted. Coniferous plants, decorative bushes are cut. You can continue to propagate currants with green cuttings. They also trim and plant raspberries. Rooted strawberry rosettes are planted and planted varieties are planted. Trees are vaccinated with an eye. On August days it’s convenient to bookmark a new lawn.

Did you know? The moon moves away from the Earth annually by 3.8 cm. Initially, this satellite was at a distance of 22 thousand km from the earth's surface, and now it is located about 400 thousand km from it.

Omens

There are many popular signs that have long prompted residents of the countryside when to plant certain crops:

  1. We saw that a snowdrop is blooming - you can sow seeds of peppers, tomatoes, kohlrabi in the greenhouse or at home for seedlings. Flower seeds (cloves, petunia and salvia) are also sown at this time.
  2. The appearance of a furry color on hazel signals that the soil has warmed up to plant spinach, radish, marigolds, poppy seeds and cornflowers. Frosts may still return, but the earth is no longer freezing.
  3. The appearance of Forsythia color will signal that carrots and parsley can be sown.
  4. When the "catkins" appeared on the willow, you can begin to plant the seeds of lettuce, kohlrabi, Savoy cabbage.
  5. Flowering almonds indicate that it is time to plant peas, sweet peas, beets, cabbage (white and cauliflower).
  6. Cherry blossoms - you can start planting seeds of dill and thyme.
  7. Chestnut dismissed the “candles” - start sowing beets, radishes and radishes.
  8. Leafs on the birch are green - you can plant potatoes.
  9. Lilac bloomed - it is good to sow annual lianas and headed varieties of salad.
  10. Viburnum or peonies blooms - you should plant cucumbers, pumpkin, corn, beans and other heat-loving crops. And if the oaks have turned green with the first leaves, then the frosts will definitely not return.
  11. Buds of irises began to blossom - you can plant Brussels sprouts.

Even before the seeds are planted, the weather can tell you what crop will be this year and what is better to spoil. So, if snow melts in spring and streams of melt water run, then there will be a good harvest of early varieties of spring bread. Winter with abundant snowfall indicates good grass growth. May rains promise that they will be able to collect a lot of rye.

Important! In addition to folk signs and the lunar calendar, when embarking on planting vegetables, crop rotation should be observed, use quality planting material, ensure optimal care, otherwise you can’t wait for a high yield.

Favorable and unfavorable lunar days will tell you how and when it is better to plan various work in the garden and garden. However, one must also take into account weather conditions on a given day.
