      • 17/18th Jan
        Flower Libra Last quarter
        Synodic:
        This is not a good time to be sowing anything in the garden. Instead use this time to weed and harvest from the garden. It is an excellent time to start building a new compost heap.

        Biodynamic:
        Moon in Libra: This is an Air sign. This is a good time to sow Flowering plants like Broccoli, Cauli, etc

        Sidereal:
        Moon in Libra: A Good time to sow green manures or cover crops.

              • Because Synodic works on a 29 day cycle, so you have a week of sowing each, with the fourth week rested. This works on purely waxing/waning phases of the moon. The Biodynamic works on the moon's passage through the constellations. Check out Rudolf Steiner for more detail on the latter.

                  • I am, which is why I have a cold. It's my optimum time

                        Optimum time for a cold? If that's what happens with Synodic I'm sticking with Biodynamic. Haven't had a cold since I started Biodynamic Planting with the moon. Must prove something.

                            Then I'm switching back! I advised echinacea use to Nicos today. Shame I don't follow my own advice...
