Gardener's lunar calendar for December 2021 to help gardeners
Content
Auspicious days
Seeds that are planted in the first two weeks of the lunar month will grow upward. Root crops, on the contrary, have grown in depth in the last 14 days. When a new month appears in the sky, as well as on a full moon, you cannot disturb the soil and plants.
When working in the garden, it is necessary to remember in which sign of the zodiac the queen of the night is. They can be divided into the following groups:
- Fertile: Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.
- Moderately fertile: Capricorn, Taurus, Libra and Sagittarius.
- Barren: Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Virgo and Leo.
It would seem, what kind of sowing work can we talk about when it's December? Winter is not at all an obstacle for the gardener, because you can do your favorite thing both in a covered greenhouse with heating, and grow plants on a windowsill. Sowing in winter does not mean that the seeds will sprout worse than in spring.
The gardener's lunar calendar for December 2021 consists of the following periods:
- December 1–6 - waning moon;
- December 7 - new moon;
- December 8-15 - the moon is growing;
- December 16-21 - the moon is growing;
- December 22 - full moon;
- December 23-29 - waning moon;
- December 30–31 - waning moon.
In an open area, you can fix the snow cap on the bushes and seedlings, smooth out the mulch scattered by the wind. Trees in the garden should be inspected for rodent damage. If damaged bark is found, it must be treated with garden pitch.
The timing of planting, the types of work allowed on certain days of the month, should be checked against the lunar calendar for 2021, which will be considered in detail.
