How the moon affects plants
The main landmark of every gardener and gardener is the climatic features of the region. But over time, farmers began to notice that the development and fertility of crops grown depend not only on the weather. The moon, sun and other celestial bodies have a huge impact on all living organisms on our planet. Gradually, people learned to identify and correctly use the lunar rhythms in gardening and horticulture. This is how the first sowing calendars began to appear.
Today the lunar sowing calendar is the handbook of every gardener and gardener. During the period of the new moon, the growth and development of plants is suspended, since the night star is located between two planets - the Sun and the Earth. During this period, it is recommended to engage in pruning the crowns of fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs, treating the garden with microbiological preparations to prevent infestations of pests and the development of diseases.
The waxing moon promotes the growth of deciduous and flowering crops. When the month increases, gardeners and gardeners are engaged in sowing seeds, planting seedlings and seedlings. Please note that seedlings of fruit trees and berry bushes are planted on the eve of the new moon.
The full moon is the perfect time to collect medicinal herbs and fruits. Harvested during a full month, the crop retains its taste and marketability for a long time. The waning moon involves a lot of work in the garden and in the garden: sowing seeds, collecting roots and fruits, pruning plants, fertilizing, removing weeds and loosening the soil.

Schedule of work
The correct distribution of work in the garden and in the garden is a guarantee of an excellent harvest of the crops grown.
Beginning of the month
In the first days of March, the moon is in a waning phase. Since during this period the plants are in the resting and resting stage, it is better to refuse to carry out active work in the garden. Dedicate the beginning of the month to exploring the territory of the infield and drawing up a work plan for the coming month.
From March 1 to March 5, it is recommended to start cleaning the garden and removing weeds that have appeared from under the snow. Prepare garden tools, purchase planting materials and plant treatment products from pests and diseases. If traces of the presence of insects have been detected on shrubs and trees, the crops can be treated with a new generation of insecticidal preparations. The new moon falls on March 6th. On this day, it is not worth planting and replanting plants, since the root system of the seedlings will be too weak and unstable to various natural disasters.
From March 7, a new lunar phase begins, contributing to the rooting, growth and development of vegetation. The next few days should be devoted to gardening. During this period, you can engage in planting and transplanting seedlings, watering and fertilizing, loosening the soil and removing weed grass.The first days of the waxing moon are not suitable for pruning plants and their shoots. "Wounds" in trees and shrubs take a long time to heal and heal.
Works in mid-March
According to the lunar sowing calendar for gardeners and truck farmers, mid-March - from the 10th to the 20th - falls on the growing month. As you know, the moon during the growth period has a beneficial effect on the viability of plants. Virtually all gardening work will produce good results.
So, the middle of the first month of spring can be devoted to the following work in the garden and in the garden:
- sowing seeds of flowering crops;
- planting and replanting of ornamental, deciduous and fruit trees and bushes seedlings;
- propagation of trees by cuttings and pinching;
- watering the plants growing on the territory of the garden plot;
- application of mineral fertilizers to the soil;
- loosening the soil;
- active struggle to remove the emerging weed grass.
Mid-March is not a good time to prune tree crowns and remove roots. The lunar planting calendar says that during this period, tall crops accumulate their strength at the top. Damaged shoots will not be able to recover quickly.
Cases at the end of the month
The full moon in March falls on the 21st. A full moon implies peace and lack of activity. It is better to refrain from planting, transplanting and pruning trees. If you want to do something useful for the garden, prepare and fertilize the soil, remove weeds, and spray the plants with protective agents.
Starting on March 22, the moon begins to wane. The waning moon contributes to the development and strengthening of the lower part of the plants, so during this period it is worth performing root feeding of the crops growing in the garden. Watering should be reduced to a minimum or completely refrain from moistening the soil. While the strength of the plants is concentrated in the roots, it is recommended to start cultivating the crowns.
The end of the first spring month is the optimal period for pruning shrubs and trees in the garden.
A gardening calendar drawn up in accordance with the phases of the moon will tell you how to properly organize work on the site in March 2019. Their growth, development and fertility depend on the literacy of processing garden plants.
