The significant influence of the earth's natural satellite has been discussed for many centuries. People have long been monitoring the movement of stars in the sky, and have established many patterns about how the Moon, in different phases of its life, influences all living things in different ways. Its most tangible influence is clearly demonstrated by the ebb and flow of the tides. Of course, this was not in vain for plants, of which there are a great many on our planet.
Every experienced gardener and gardener navigates the periods when it is best to produce any excavation. But there is an excellent help that makes the work easier for anyone who has decided to start growing plants, and it is called the lunar sowing calendar for gardeners, summer residents and gardeners. Each month has its own calendar, including August 2017.
What is the lunar sowing calendar for August 2017
Depending on the phase of the moon's movement, favorable or unfavorable days for landing work are calculated. It should be noted right away that our article refers to any work related to plants and land, including those related to indoor plants, crops, trees, etc.
First of all, favorable days in the lunar sowing calendar determine what actions are best performed on this day in order to get the most productive result. Unfavorable days imply, if possible, the refusal of activities of this kind or its limitation in certain aspects.
Sowing calendar for August 2017 for gardeners and gardeners
The nuances of working with the lunar sowing calendar
The first thing you should know about sowing calendars is that, depending on the phase of the moon, you can determine the level of work that should be performed on a certain day. For example, it should be understood that the approach of the moon promotes an influx of strength and energy, and its distance promotes an outflow.
During periods when the growing phase of the natural satellite of our planet begins, it is best to plant plants that stretch upward. Into the fading lunar phase It is customary to plant plants that grow downwards into the ground (see).
Before starting work, become thoroughly familiar with the phase in which the moon is currently located. Remember a few rules, and your harvest will live up to your expectations and the effort you put into it.
Impact of the Moon on Plants
You should not plant or replant plants at a time when the moon is under the rule of the sign of Leo or Aquarius - these are the most destructive signs for the viability of the plant.
At moments when the moon is at its climax, as well as on days of eclipses, beware of the impact on plants - you can damage the flow of their vital juices, which will provoke disease and wilting.
On days when zodiac signs replace each other, you should not resort to work in the garden. Otherwise, you risk getting an underdeveloped plant.
