Those summer residents who take into account the recommendations of the lunar calendar when harvesting garlic know that it is better to dig up root crops on the waning moon.
During this period, plant juices are concentrated in their underground parts.
Therefore, it is believed that if you dig up garlic on these days, you can get the juiciest heads.
However, it is not recommended to dig up garlic for storage on the days of the full moon or new moon.
There is an opinion that the designated period is characterized by unstable energies.
Therefore, according to the lunar calendar, the harvest harvested on such days usually does not store well.
Astrologers recommend paying attention to the zodiac sign in which the Moon is located during the harvest period.
It is believed that Capricorn, Aries, Leo, Taurus and Sagittarius are the most favorable for harvesting garlic for storage.
In turn, the lunar calendar names the best days for harvesting winter garlic for storage as July 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29.
The most unfavorable days for this matter are July 20, 21 and 22.
