All with the Moon

[Guest guest]

There are various ways to plant, some work for us and some work for others. Planting by the moon is an old method, which I am happy to say, is regaining popularity. The first quarter Moon is the time to plant crops that appear above ground. It is also the time to begin new projects. This is the increasing moon. The second quarter Moon is also for above ground crops and the time to nurture and tend all new growth. This is the increasing moon. The third quarter moon is the time for root crops, the finishing of outstanding projects and the time to harvest. This is the decreasing moon. The fourth quarter is the time to begin compost heaps,

remove weeds and pests. Harvest. This is the decreasing moon. The movement of the moon has a connection with the rising and falling of the tides. The movement of the moon affects all water, including the water within us. Not only does the moon control the large and small bodies of water, she also affects the water within it. When water is rising during the increasing moon, seeds, crops etc. find it easier to draw water from the soil. Water flows to the root system as the full moon draws to a close. In the 1st and 2nd quarters we plant leafy crops with a shallow root system. In the 3rd and 4th quarters we prepare beds and soil, weed, manage pest control and start composting. Certain herbs collected on full moon show a higher potency especially when dripping of morning dew. Whether you live in a house with a garden, an apartment with a balcony or a flat with a light filled window, you can create a corner of harmony or companionship. Chilies, cocktail tomatoes, basil, peas, beans, thyme, marigolds, parsley and more can be grown indoors in pots around a window or on the balcony. Natural fertilizers can be made with the prunings and the outer leaves of some of your kitchen waste. In a busy crowded world a little place can be turned into a haven of peace and harmony, no matter where you live. A few parting tips on being a good companion - · Basil

with tomatoes · Calendula, chives, garlic, parsley with Roses · Hyssop with grapes · Rosemary with carrots · In general, Hyssop, sage, marjoram, chives and parsley are beneficial in maintaining a healthy garden. Nature is wonderful - all these herbs are just as beneficial to us. Go well, be at peace with yourselves and each other and take time to enjoy the companionship of the earth and the moon Suzi What is a weed?
