How the moon affects plants
Talking about lunar calendar, I would like to draw attention to useful information, which will be useful not only for novice gardeners and gardeners, but also for experienced experts. Lunar month It is customary to divide it into several stages:
- new moon;
- waxing moon;
- full moon;
- waning moon.
In time, the new moon lasts three days (the day before and after is included). It is worth noting that this state of the Earth’s natural satellite is critical for many plants. During the new moon, it is not advisable to sow seeds or plant plants, incl. seedlings, vaccinations. And if you decide to weed the weeds and remove shoots and shoots, then unfavorable planting days are the right time to do it.
When the moon is waxing, they sow and plant, and also replant. What you can do on the waxing moon:
- sow and plant annual and perennial flowers;
- thin out seedlings;
- trim plants for good growth shoots;
- root mustache;
- trim diseased plant branches;
- ferment and salt vegetables.
The root system of plants becomes most vulnerable when the moon is in its waning phase. Even the slightest damage to the roots can lead to the death of the entire plant. At the same time, the above-ground part responds weakly to damage. When the moon wanes, you can do the following things:
Planting and replanting trees and shrubs in the waning month is not advisable, nor is grafting (budding) or sauerkraut.

Tricks of gardeners
To reap a large and generous harvest, many summer residents and gardeners use some tricks and secrets, because it is not always possible to get what you want with just the power of thought:
➤ use peat mulch to increase the yield of parsley, zucchini, carrots, cucumbers, turnips and radishes. It is peat mulch that smoothes out temperature fluctuations in the soil and promotes the accumulation of useful microelements, and also protects plantings from rapid growth weeds. It is better to mulch the beds in the fall, but you can also mulch them in the early spring;
➤ to grow strong, after germination, keep the crops at a temperature of +15... +18 ̊C during the day, at night - +12...+14 ̊C. Cucumber seedlings are ready for planting when they reach the age of 20-25 days;
➤ the best predecessors for carrots are cucumbers, onions, cabbage, tomatoes. Carrot seeds begin to germinate at a temperature of +4...+5 ̊С, seedlings are not afraid of frosts down to -2 ̊...-3 ̊С;
➤ Petunia begins to bloom 3 months after sowing the seeds. Remove the apical part on the central shoot to get a chic, powerful bush. Petunia is pinched several times during the season;
➤ It is better to fertilize with potassium sulfate, since the vegetable needs sulfur. In addition, the shelf life of the bulbs depends on potassium, which is supplied during the growing season with fertilizing - ordinary wood ash, which needs to be scattered between the rows, will help here;
➤ to give a generous harvest, spray the bushes during flowering with honey solution (1 tbsp per 1 liter of water);
➤ Tomato tops will help against aphids and leaf-eating pests. You need to put 4 kg of crushed (chopped) tops in 10 liters of water and boil for half an hour. Let cool. Then, for each liter of broth, add 3.5 liters of warm water and 10 grams of laundry soap.

Attention! Gardener's calendar for April 2017 designed for moderate climates.
From lunar phases the growth of terrestrial plants depends - with the waxing Moon (first and second phases), the movement of juices occurs in the upper part of the crops. At this time, plants need abundant watering.
During the waning Moon (third and fourth phases), the activation of growth moves downward, which promotes the development of the root system - you can safely trim branches and shoots, as well as feed the plants with organic or mineral fertilizers.
Sowing calendar for gardeners and gardeners - April 2017
There are a number of features for different months of the gardener's lunar sowing calendar, which we will consider using the example of April 2017. For most summer residents and owners of personal plots, April is the “hottest” month in terms of sowing and planting work. You could even say that it is in April that the foundations of the future harvest are laid.
Therefore, it is so important to know about the features of the lunar sowing calendar for the gardener for April 2017 and use this knowledge in your work. For example, the first day of April in 2017 promises gardeners to provide all plants planted on this day with special strength for growth and development.
Also, according to the table, active agricultural work in April can be carried out until the 10th. It is on April 10 that the new moon will begin, which, together with the full moon, according to the sowing calendar, are considered critical days for any work with plants.
The first flowers begin to bloom in April spring flowers, buds are blooming on the trees and ringing bird voices are heard - spring is coming into its own. For summer residents, the time has come to take care of the seedlings, which will need to be planted in the ground next month. April is considered one of the most troublesome periods, since this month it is necessary to complete all the March “unfinished projects” in the garden. In addition, it is advisable to prepare as much as possible for the mass planting and sowing of crops coming in May - when the foundation for the future harvest occurs.
So, we dedicate this month to sowing seedlings in open ground: radishes, lettuce, parsley, potatoes, carrots, peas, beans. When the temperature reaches 6 - 8°C, cabbage, kohlrabi, broccoli, and beets “beg” to be planted in the beds.
At the end of April, you can start picking previously planted seedlings. Planting trees and shrubs with seedlings is best done during this period - until the buds bloom. In this case, you will just have time to carry out preventive measures to combat pests by treating the berry bushes with an acaricide against ticks, and the solution will help protect against fungus copper sulfate. As soon as the snow melts, you need to trim dry tree branches, remove old leaves and remove a layer of mulch.

- Full Moon And New Moon- periods when you should not go to the garden and sow, transplant or plant plants. On these unfavorable days, clean up the garden, weed the beds, or simply take a break from soil work. Everything is due to the fact that useful substances in these phases accumulate in the root system of plants. The process of sap flow becomes slow - stems and leaves do not grow.
- Moon on the rise- intensive metabolism begins in the above-ground parts of plants. At this time, leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits grow well. In the garden, you can loosen and dig up the soil and hill up the beds, as the risk of damage to the root system is reduced.
- Moon on the waning- metabolism begins in the underground part of the culture. During this period, you should not dig up or loosen the soil so as not to damage the roots of the plants, otherwise they will die. Plant plants in the ground that are valued for their roots. Roots play an important role in the growth and development of shrubs and trees. Therefore, on the waning Moon, you can plant and transplant seedlings.
In the first days of the month, you can safely prepare the soil for early planting of crops. For example, you can take out potatoes for germination on the 3rd or 4th. But already on the 8th-9th you should take a break from work: it is not recommended to plant vegetables during these couple of days.
