Field work in August
For gardeners and gardeners even in the wildest winter months there is work to ensure a future crop, although it is generally accepted that they have it - a vacation time. However, the preparation of seed material, the cultivation of seedlings can occur even in December and January - modern methods of growing plants provide year-round work in greenhouses or at home. But the main work falls on the spring and the end of summer, and in August 2019 this one will not be an exception to the rules long established by nature.
Weather calendar and Moon calendar - Two indispensable manuals for an experienced gardener. The table for favorable and unfavorable days takes into account the phases of the moon. If we take into account that in August they begin to sow parsley and sorrel for an early spring harvest of greens, take up beds from under ripe crops with peas and lentils, then in 2019 it is important to know about the phases of the moon by days, and such a table will be very informative and useful for gardeners and gardeners.
Moon phases in august 2024 | Calendar dates, August days | Recommended Actions for Gardeners |
Full moon | 15-17 | Only the destruction of weeds and pests, no more work |
New moon | 1, 30 | You can’t plant, transplant and even harvest the seeds next spring |
Waxing Crescent | 2-14 | You can harvest root crops, pinch, fertilize and water the soil before autumn work |
Waning moon | 16-29 | Harvesting, transplanting and digging up tubers, first pruning of dry and damaged branches, combating diseases and insects |
The table below may be slightly adjusted according to weather conditions. The only thing that must be followed with accuracy is the directions for the full moon and new moon. Indeed, it is precisely on these days that the influence of the Earth’s satellite is so strong that all undertakings on the ground can turn out to be completely fruitless for gardeners and gardeners.
People have long been guided by the phases of the moon before cutting their hair, starting important things, playing weddings. Plants planted before the full moon usually take root better, are tall and give a good harvest, and perennials, as has long been noted, are planted exclusively on the days of the Moon in growth, but in no case during the new moon.
How to navigate correctly
