In planning their main activities, gardeners and horticulturists depend not only on the weather, but also on the phases of the moon.
Starting from the second half of February, work on soil cultivation for seedlings, seed treatment, and sowing for seedlings is also in full swing. But there is a reason to wait.
The new moon is coming very soon, during which it is better not to touch the seeds at all.
New Moon in February
Next week, namely February 19, 20 and 21, will be the most unfavorable days for sowing. At this time, you should not even process seeds, treat them, harden them or do other things.
Why is the new moon dangerous?
This time is not the best for growing seedlings and sowing seeds. It is believed that plants planted, sown and transplanted during this period will face a lack of nutrients. This is due to the movement of the Moon and its influence on the processes occurring on our planet.
Approximately the same thing happens during the full moon. The night light at this time has maximum power, which is about to begin to fall, and during the new moon this energy, on the contrary, begins to grow.
During the full moon, it is generally not recommended to do gardening. But during the new moon, you don't have to be idle. You can do anything that is not related to sowing, cultivating the soil, and applying fertilizers.
You can carry out treatment against diseases and pests, perform pruning, treatment of shrubs and trees, fight weeds, water and loosen the soil.
