The period from the beginning of the spring and until late autumn is very important for the Agrarians. It was at this time that the gardener calendar is painted literally by day. With the apparent simplicity of cultivation of various crops (planted-water-collected), the magnitude of the crop and its quality depends on many factors. The quality of seeds, the correctness of the landing, the state of the soil, the timeliness of irrigation is of great importance for the future harvest. Not a latter role in the cultivation of vegetable and other crops plays the time of landing or sowing. For each culture there are certain deadlines when its landing will be the most optimal from the point of view of weather conditions, the climatic features of the territory.
Moon cycle in crop
Recently, more and more often agronomists and gobblers are trying to produce work with cultural plants on a special lunar sowing calendar. It is developed depending on the cycles of the sole satellite of the Earth - the Moon. The influence of this celestial body on biological rhythms on our planet is already being studied for more than a dozen years. A visual example is the discovery of the dependence of tides and sings, which are completely dependent on the location of the moon on earth orbit. Also, during many years of observations, the influence of lunar phases on the growth of plant growth was revealed.
The whole meaning of the lunar sowing calendar of the garden is built on observing the behavior of plants in certain phases of the Moon and its location in the sky in one of the zodiac constellations.
There are 7 lunar phases in total:
- New moon - it can be determined in directed to the left side of the acute ends of the month.
- The first quarter - only the right half of the moon disk is lit.
- A growing moon - illuminated about 2/3 of the disk surface (right to left).
- Full moon - Phase of the Moon, at which a complete disk of the satellite is visible from the ground.
- A decreasing moon - illuminated by about 2/3 of the disk surface (left to right).
- The third quarter - the left half of the surface of the moon is visible.
- The falling month - in this phase, its ends are directed to the right.
The most successful time for planting plants is the Phase of the ascending Moon or New Moon. Especially favorable for plants is the period when the growing month is in the constellations of Capricorn, Aquarius, Fish, Aries, Taurus. At this time, the intensity of the coating in plants is enhanced, which favorably affects their yield.
With a decreasing month, the situation is fundamentally opposite. All energy goes into the roots of the plant. At this time, the tuber cultures are very good, but it is undesirable to carry out a transplant. The landing calendar of the garden Lunar clearly will prompt the best time for work.
The second or fourth phase of the month is perfectly suitable for trimming trees, shrubs, weeding beds or spraying plants. The crop will be perfectly stored if it is cleaning it during the aging moon.
Meaning of zodiac signs for crop production
In addition to the influence of the lunar cycles on the biological activity of plants, astrologers are not recommended that the signs of the zodiac play a large role in the yield of plant crops. Comprehensive comparison of the phases of the moon and zodiac constellations and underlies the construction of a lunar sowing calendar of the gardener.

The table of the lunar sowing calendar 2018 is shown below.
