The influence of a lunar day
The waning moon does not contribute to productive activities in the garden area. All plants during this period seem to freeze, stopping in growth and almost not responding to external influences. On the 26th lunar day, it is best to plan further work, purchase equipment, seeds and fertilizers.
Garden work such as pruning and removing damaged and unnecessary branches and shoots, cleaning fallen leaves, and pest and disease control will be successful.
Gardeners can harvest carrots, beets, potatoes, remove excess shoots, dried tops and leaves. It is recommended to do top dressing and spraying of plants, dig up or loosen the soil. The day is suitable for cleaning the site: weeding, thinning seedlings, cleaning unnecessary plantings.
The 26th lunar day is not suitable for watering seedlings and working with plant roots.
The day has a positive effect on:
- harvesting fallen leaves, weeding weeds and unnecessary plantings;
- pruning trees and shrubs, feeding, spraying against pests;
- improving the quality of the soil: loosening, digging, fertilizing.
Negative impact of the day:
- watering any plantings on the site;
- work with plant roots.
Influence of the day of the week
According to the lunar calendar, Tuesday is such an active day that you can “move mountains”, and the results of all the actions you have taken exceed all expectations. This activity is explained by the fact that this day is under the influence of the “red planet” - Mars.
By choosing Tuesday to work in the garden, you will be rewarded for your efforts many times over. It is important to note that even the most difficult work will be easy on Tuesday, and your energy will quickly recover.
For this day, you can not hesitate to plan planting, cultivation of the soil, as well as uprooting or pruning of trees. This is the only way you will get an excellent result, while making a minimum of effort. On Tuesday, it is also recommended to carry out not only planting plants, but also their fertilization. You can harvest, especially if you want the plants to continue to bear fruit well and not get sick. This is a good day for stocking up products like home spins.
So on Tuesday you can also do the following:
- Implement voluminous work on the personal plot.
- Perform soil preparation, planting and fertilization of plants.
- Replenish stocks for long-term storage.
Moon phase influence
At this time, the activity of plants begins to gradually decrease, all their energy and power accumulate in the rhizome.
Things to do
Since the plants are not currently disposed to rapid growth and the formation of young shoots, it is worth doing cleaning on the personal plot:
- ground tops;
- fallen leaves;
- weed grass;
- dried plants;
- backyard territory.
Sick or dead shrubs and trees can be uprooted. The formation of the crown, pruning of lateral shoots, branches will have a good effect on the state of garden vegetation.
What is undesirable to do
The moon in the 4th waning phase is not a very suitable time for planting seedlings and sowing seeds of plants with ground-based fruit formation. Planted in a given time period, they will:
- grow weak, short;
- take root badly;
- have less resistance to disease.
To a lesser extent, this applies to bulbous and root crops, in which the underground part is the main one, so they more easily tolerate the negative impact on their upper part.
In the last phase, it is worth abandoning watering, loosening the soil, digging it up. The roots are now sensitive to external influences and can negatively respond to damage, and excessive moisture can trigger the decay process.
Fertilization is allowed. It is allowed to spray the ground parts of vegetation with special agents against diseases and harmful insects.
The harvest of root crops collected during this period will have a short shelf life, the fruits will differ in wateriness. They can be canned, like ground fruits harvested at the same time. But salting or fermenting is not desirable.
Influence of the zodiac sign
The moment the Moon is in Scorpio falls on a very fertile period.
What work can be done
- sowing fruit crops with a long shelf life of the crop;
- planting trees, shrubs;
- planting of plants used as medicines and spices;
- preparation of seed stock for storage;
- harvesting fruits for long-term storage;
- soil cultivation that does not affect the root system - watering, fertilizing;
- weeding, pest control, disease treatment.
The crops planted at this time grow well, grow strong, with high disease resistance, and give a good harvest. The harvested fruits have excellent taste and are endowed with a large number of useful properties.
What can be done with the harvest
The fruits collected during the period of the Moon's presence in Scorpio can be used in a variety of ways. Of these you can:
- to make wine;
- squeeze juice;
- preserve by salting;
- ferment;
- retrieve seeds for future planting.
The moment is well suited for cutting and drying medicinal and herbal plants.
What actions are undesirable
Actions that can negatively affect the state of the root system are contraindicated. During this period, she has an increased sensitivity to damage and wounds.
Also, don't do:
- digging in the root growth zone;
- transplanting seedlings;
- removal of part of plants, drying up, disease-infected shoots and shoots;
- the formation of the crown of shrubs and trees;
- trimming lateral processes;
- cuttings, separation of roots, rooting.
Loosening the soil, hilling plants is allowed, but this must be done very carefully. If possible, it is advisable to postpone these actions for 2-3 days.
