Gardener's lunar calendar for Belarus for 2021: work plan by months

The influence of the moon and its phases on plants

Our ancestors also noticed the indelible effect of the moon phases on plants. Thus, the vegetation planted on the growing moon quickly adapted to the new growing conditions and vigorously grew.

Seed material sown on the waning moon gave a low percentage of germination, and seedlings planted in open ground did not take root well. Florists noted weak flowering and low decorative characteristics of vegetation grown in the garden and on flower beds. Therefore, it was decided not to plant cultivated and ornamental plants in the ground on the waning moon. This period can be used for other work in the garden and in the garden: watering and fertilizing, loosening the soil and removing weed grass, spraying vegetation from harmful insects and various diseases.

The most "dangerous" are the phases of the new moon and full moon. According to experienced gardeners and gardeners, during periods of a new and full moon, it is better to completely abandon work with the earth and vegetation.
