You won't have to get up in the middle of the night to sow your carrots! Country folk know that planning their work in harmony with the rhythms of the moon produces better crops. It's that easy. They get higher yields and better flavour in vegetables. Flowers produce stronger displays and heightened colour. This guide computes everything you need to know about the daily influence of the moon and the planets in the garden. With its full 15-month daily calendar, it creates an essential timetable for the year ahead and a fine means of self-discipline for keen gardeners.

I found the whole subject fascinating with some success and some failures. My sweet peas were magnificent with really long stems and a very long flowering season (Jun - Sep) and runner beans equally as good and very prolific. Unfortunately the carrot root fly had not read the book and despite sowing 2 packets of french beans nothing came up at all. I suppose it's a case of 'you win some, you lose some'
I shall certainly use the system this year and at present my toilet roll middles are filled and in the propagator waiting for the right day to sow

I was introduced to this by a man that tiled our kitchen floor. We all know the influence of the sun, but did you know that the moon is just as powerful? There is a hefty explanation, that gets rather technical at times, but basically plants are divided into four categories. Flower, root, leaf and fruit. The lunar calendar guides you to the most auspicious days for sowing, tending and harvesting. The whole concept is fantastic and cheaper than a carton of tomato ripe.

Although this book explains the general theory and principals behind planting with the moon's cycles very well, I immediately realised that the actual planting calendar contained within it relates ONLY to 2007.
It is therefore out of date and not relevant to the current planting year.
I feel that maybe this should be pointed out somewhere in the book's description.

Despite its unexpected title 'Gardening and Planting by the Moon' is a great support to successful gardening, especially in having a productive vegetable garden. Its hints and tips have given us the vegetables that have greatly helped our grocery budget.

Have had these books from Amazon for a number of years. They are really good. We live in Spain and the Spanish really do plant by the moon.

Absolute must for all successful planting. Nothing to do with 'nutters' and weirdos but a proven method of increasing your fruit and vegetable yield.

Whilst I found this book interesting I would have preferred more charts and diagrams to enable me to easily see what I should be doing when. Nick seems to totally miss out on the fact that there is more to moon growing than just the waxing and waining of the moon, for example, whether the moon is ascending or descending can make a considerable difference in the growth of certain crops.
