The lunar sowing calendar for August 2019 is a kind of guide for gardeners and gardeners, especially for beginners. He tells you at what time it is best to plant certain crops, gives tips on caring for the garden and plants, and also greatly facilitates the conduct of country work.

How the moon phases affect plants in August 2019

The distance from the Earth to the Moon is approximately 400 thousand kilometers, but for the cosmic distance such indicators are not significant. Electromagnetic impulses and waves emanate from the surface of the satellite, which are able to overcome such distances and reach the Earth.

All living things on our planet are affected by such impulses and waves, especially in full measure they are felt by water elements. But the electromagnetic force depends largely on the lunar phases, as well as on the zodiac belt, which can amplify or, on the contrary, weaken the impulses emanating from the satellite. Therefore, it is important for gardeners and a gardener to observe the movement of the moon and its position in the zodiac signs.

Full moon and new moon - called the days of the peak moon, when it is better to refuse to carry out any land work on the site. On such days, even transplanting indoor plants can lead to their withering and death, so you should not waste energy and destroy plants.

The growing moon gives plants vitality, especially those that bear fruit above the surface of the earth. These are all cereals, vegetables, fruits and flowers.

Root crops love the waning moon, so on such days it is better to plant plants that bear fruit underground, so they will give more yield.

Garden work on the lunar calendar in 2019

August is a time not only for harvesting, but also for planting flowers. Experienced gardeners advise at the beginning of the month to plant lilies, especially for those who live in the Volga region and in Siberia. In the southern regions, the planting of lilies can be postponed to September.

In addition to lilies, in the middle of the month you can plant flowers such as daffodils, crocuses, muscari and scylla. It is also worth paying attention to peonies, they need to be transplanted and dividing.

Such a summer month is a good time for planting greens, since according to the lunar sowing calendar of August 2019, residents of Moscow, the Urals and other regions can still have time to enjoy fresh greens of dill, basil, spinach and lettuce before the first frosts. More experienced gardeners and gardeners even manage to grow a new crop of early radishes and cucumbers, however, this is only for residents of the southern regions.

At the end of August, it is better to stop all planting and focus on harvesting, otherwise they may overripe.Only those crops that are designed to collect seeds can be brought to maturity. The rest of the crop must be collected, processed and sent for storage.

Garden and garden work in August is also associated with the fight against various pests and diseases, as well as the fact that the plants give more yield.

• If the ripening fruit attacks the wasps, then you can set a trap against them, for this we mix a glass of water with 4 teaspoons of honey and pour a little vinegar. We fill the dark bottle with the solution and place it where the wasps are most.
• If the cherry leaves began to turn yellow ahead of time, this suggests that the tree is affected by a disease such as coccomycosis. Unfortunately, the tree cannot be completely cured of such a disease, but their death can be delayed by spraying with drugs such as Chorus and Copper Oxychloride.

• In early August, you can spray tomatoes from late blight for the last time. But for the last treatment it is not worth using bordeaux liquid, but it is better to prepare an infusion of garlic (a glass of water and 100 g of chopped vegetable).
• From the very first days of August, you need to stop watering the onions so that the bulbs mature well. Feathers cannot be trimmed; they must dry themselves.
• Released beds are best planted with green manure crops, for example, phacelia. This will improve soil fertility and allow you to get a good harvest for the next year.
