The 2010 Moon Planting Guide for Gardeners

Consideration to the rhythms of the Moon has been part of the planting and growing process of most early cultures throughout the world. The Moon does not only affect the large masses of water such as oceans (tides) and rivers but also asserts an influence on very small bodies of liquid as can be found in plants (sap). When water is rising during the Waxing Moon, seeds sown and crops planted can more easily take up liquids than those sown in the waning phase. This is one of the first rhythms the knowledgeable gardener learns to work with to enhance plant vitality. The Moon has three significant rhythms that relate to three methods of Moon planting explained in this Guide. Each method can be practised singly or in combination with the others. This Moon Planting Guide for 2009 puts all this important information on the gardener's fingertips. You can look up phases, ascending and descending periods or plant parts in zodiac relation at a glance, day by day, month by month. A quality production, 8 x A4 pages in full colour, protection coated for durability. Each method is explained in detail. An indispensable companion for all aware gardeners. Includes: Moon Phases Method; Moon 'Up & Down' Method; Moon Month Zodiac Method; Detailed explanations for each method
