Moon gardening

[maytreefrannie]

i find it easy cos i use the moon phases for other stuff, i just have to incorporate planting etc, but if a thread would help i am happy to oblige?

Bride - may I ask what other stuff you use moon phases for?

When I was young, I tried keeping a 'moon diary' - I noted moods, feelings etc. through a few months of moons. I couldn't find a relationship between me and wherever the moon phase was at at the time. It might be that I should have kept it going for a longer time.

This moon planting is really catching on, I ordered the book Zazen recommended. It arrived today from Amazon. Just got to read it now
It looks easy enough to follow, really interested to see if it works on my veggi patch.

I recently ordered 'in tune with the moon' to help with sowing dates etc! Bit complicated!! Maybe the book you recommend Zazen may be a bit easier to decipher! Since reading about the moon and its effects on sowing, harvesting etc I think I will give it a good go this year with my allotment and garden!

The Book was called Gardening & Planting by the Moon by Nick Kollerstrom. Got it for £6.69 from Amazon.

Thanks Herbie! Will check it out on Amazon. Hopefully will resist temptation to buy it!! Strong willpower just isn't my thing though....
