Product Description

Synopsis

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 and flowers with stronger display and heightened colour. This guide computes everything you need to know about the daily influence of the moon and the planets that will respond to it. Here is a fine means of self-discipline for keen gardeners that provides an essential timetable for the year ahead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, easy and revolutionary, 29 May 2005
By Myrtle "featherandquill" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Partial success in 'moon' gardening, 1 Nov 2008
By Mrs. Eileen Barnes (Berkshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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

5.0 out of 5 stars A serious and very informative book on the moon's influence., 25 Oct 2001
By jcbelcher@lineone.net (West Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
I have a serious interest in the Moon's behaviour. Thus, catastrophic events take place at the First and Last Quarters of the Moon's orbit. The Californian earthquakes of 1st October 1987 and the 19th January 1984, each followed two weeks later by the Great British Hurricane on the 15th October 1987 and the Irish Sea Hurricane on the 3rd February 1984. These events are separated by the long lunar cycle of 6 solar years and 111 days.

Saturn is the planetary twin of the Earth, being captured by the Sun at the same time. This is why their perihelions are very similar.

The author presents many other behavioural patterns of the Moon which are of interest to those who research lunar phenomena.

That said, in applying this knowledge to the growing of plants the author has shouldered a very difficult task and has succeeded in giving us an annual diary that is most invaluable.

I heartily recommend this book.
