Re: Lunar Calender
sure you can!
**
How does gardening by the moon actually work**:
According to John Harris, Head Gardener of Tresilian House Gardens**,** as well as controlling the tides the moon controls the moisture content in the soil. There are two periods:
the waxing moon, which is the growing moon from new to full. That’s when the moisture level in the soil is at it’s highest and when you should do your planting.
the waning moon which is from full to last quarter. That’s when the moisture content is at its lowest and there’s less sap rising in your trees and shrubs so it’s when you should do your pruning.

Also:
- In changing moon shape one can fix time conveniently- no calculations needed.
- Fixation on the lunar calendar results in a continuous variations of the seasonal circumstances in which the religious observances are performed.
