How does the lunar calendar work

If we recall the ebbs and flows, it is quite obvious that the moon has a certain attraction. Each plant contains water, the effect of which is the moon. If you plant a plant at the right time according to the lunar calendar, then it will grow much faster, and the fruits will taste better.

But in order for the landing on the lunar calendar to benefit, you need to follow a few rules:

It would seem that it is precisely at the full moon and new moon that you need to sow, but this is not so. In these phases, pest control is more effective.
During a waning moon, it is best to plant plants that bear fruit underground.
In order for the plant to sprout faster, you need to deal with it during the growing moon. The energy of the moon will “stretch” the bores.
There are several signs: fertile - the sign of Taurus, Pisces, Scorpions and Crayfish; neutral - Sagittarius, Virgo, Libra and Capricorn and infertile - Leo, Gemini, Aries, Aquarius. If you sow under certain signs, then, therefore, you can get either a rich harvest, or a meager one.

Important! Not always the quality and quantity of the crop depends on the lunar calendar. Do not rely on the moon completely! The plant must be watered on time, freed from weeds and fed!

February gardener worries

In some regions of the country, snow still lies on the ground in February. The weather in this windy and frosty month is quite changeable, but severe frosts are still observed at night. In the afternoon, perhaps a bright sun, which can burn the branches of bushes and tree trunks.

The shutters can be protected with whitewash, which is able to reflect hot sunlight. Sprigs of snow must be cleaned, and all that is dried up should be cut.

The goal of the gardener in February is to protect plants. After a long and cold winter, trees and shrubs need gentle care.In addition, in February, cuttings can already be prepared for vaccination. They can be stored under a layer of snow or indoors, for example, in a basement or cellar.

Important: for planting seedlings, it is better to use small wooden boxes. Since it is still frosty in February, the boxes will not allow the soil to cool and freeze, as the tree has good thermal conductivity.

Seed can also be prepared in February. Potato tubers need to be sorted again so as not to miss rotten potatoes. Seeds need to be dried again.
