Planting by moon phases.

 

With Easter, the traditional time for planting,upon us,
You may be interested by the ancient lore of planting
according of the moon.
Simply put, the moon is on the wane at present, so we
should plant crops that grow below the ground.Also
trees (including fruit trees) and saplings.

Potassium absorbtion is at a maximum at the new moon.
Start and turn your compost heap now.

Crops that produce above ground should wait until a
waxing moon.
Fruit cane,as opposed to fruit trees,should wait for the
second quarter of the waxing moon.

Here's a good one:
    in times of drought sow seeds
    when moon is waxing, close to
    the full moon.
The Zodiac also has an influence, but that's another story.
