The influence of the phase of the moon on planting plants

The phases of the moon in August 2017 affect both the roots of plants and the aerial part. Planting plants on a certain lunar day can accelerate their emergence, growth, and affect the fruits of future plants.

On some days, it is necessary to refrain from planting, weeding and loosening the roots of plants and flowers, because. this can lead to plant damage, growth retardation, rotting or, for example, disrupting their energy balance. This affects not only the work with the land itself, but also other work in the garden and the garden.

If you would like to collect good harvest, then you obviously need everything to be done in August 2017, according to the lunar sowing calendar.

If you plant a plant, especially perennials, trees that are supposed to have a long lifespan, seedlings, then this should be done only on the growing moon, preferably before the full moon. On the day of the new moon, this should not be done.

Plants planted before the full moon will be different tall. Just as all deeds aimed at development should begin on the growing moon, so new life in a new place, plants, especially perennials, should be given on the growing moon.

Tomatoes and peppers in August also ripen more and more actively: their red, pink and yellow fruits come fresh to the table, and canning for the winter begins.

If you do not have the conditions for keeping tomatoes in the greenhouse until October, then in August you need to pinch the tops of the plants to limit their growth and remove the flowers - they will no longer have time to form fruits, but will only pick up nutrients on set tomatoes. You need to carefully monitor tomato plants so as not to miss the possible appearance of late blight. It is no longer possible to treat with copper-containing preparations when the fruits ripen, so use Fitosporin.

After harvesting, do not forget to feed cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers with organic and mineral fertilizers and water the plants.

If you haven’t removed the arrowing (winter) garlic in July, then this should be done in early August - as soon as its leaves and stems turn yellow. Garlic should be immediately dug up, tied into bunches and hung under a canopy to dry.

When you notice that the onion has fallen on the bed, its feathers have begun to turn yellow and dry, you need to pull the bulbs out of the soil and, in sunny weather, leave it on the bed for 3-4 days to dry. If the weather is wet, you need to remove the onion from the garden and take it under a canopy or to a barn, where you spread it in a thin layer to dry.

On the place vacated after harvesting garlic, onions, other crops in August, you can sow the seeds of radishes, spinach, dill, watercress and other green early crops, guided by the lunar sowing calendar for August 2017. Then in September you will be able to harvest juicy greens and radishes. If there is free space in the greenhouse, these crops can be sown there too - then you will get an early guaranteed harvest.

If there is no desire to re-grow green crops and radishes, sow green manure on the vacant beds - white mustard, rye, phacelia. They will improve the soil, and their mowed green mass will serve as a good fertilizer.

In August, you can sow the seeds of useful perennial crops: multi-tiered onions, batun onions, slime, chives, rhubarb. Before winter, they will sprout and form a good root system, which will allow them to easily endure the winter cold.

Feed the late cabbage with organic matter and mineral fertilizers, water the plants abundantly.

About 10 days before harvesting potatoes, you need to mow the tops and take them outside the site. In the second half of August, you can already start digging early varieties potatoes.

In August, it is necessary to remove garbage, ventilate and disinfect storage facilities and cellars where the harvested crop will be stored.
