How moon phases affect plant growth and yield
The phase of the moon is called the periodic change in the appearance of the part of the satellite illuminated by the sun from the surface of the Earth. For a full cycle, which lasts 29.5 solar days, the moon goes through four phases, either moving away from the surface of the planet, then approaching it, while it affects the growth and development of plants in different ways:
- New moon and full moon. This is a transitional period from decreasing to increasing (and, vice versa), during which plant organisms are in a state of rest and therefore do not respond in the best way to any human intervention. At this time, it is better to abandon all gardening work, the only exception can be the removal of weeds and tying.
- Waxing Crescent. At this time, juices and energy move in the direction from the roots to the tops. This is a good time to plant in containers and open ground for crops that ripen above soil level. Garden plants are fed on the growing moon, they are engaged in cuttings, as well as grafting of trees and berry bushes.
- Waning moon. The movement of juices and energy occurs in the opposite direction, that is, from top to bottom. This is the ideal time to plant plants that are below the soil level. On the waning moon, it is recommended to fight weeds and pests.
Plants are recommended to be planted in accordance with the phases of the moon, this will help achieve rapid growth and yield.
