Even in our age of digital technology and the application of the most advanced agricultural techniques, all gardeners and gardeners, including amateurs and professional theorists, are unanimous regarding the lunar sowing calendar. Probably there are no people with even the slightest relation to agriculture who doubt the influence of the earth's satellite on the indicators of germination and productivity.
What is the lunar calendar, its origin, and why is it so important
Many centuries ago, people discovered that the moon has a significant effect on the state of cultivated plants. Given the importance of obtaining a plentiful harvest (the absence of wheat threatened to starve to death), the ancient farmers began to carefully study the phases of the moon and their effect on plants. Ancient astronomers helped them to observe the night star, leaving the farmers to search for the interconnections between the phases of the moon, germination and harvest.
As a result of centuries-old observations, vast experience was gained, and already for several centuries, people have taken into account the influence of the Earth's satellite when performing agricultural work.
It may seem that taking into account the phases of the night luminary when sowing seeds in the 21st century is a kind of shamanism. At first glance, there is no rational explanation for such a relationship. This is actually not the case: even the most superficial knowledge in physics and astronomy allows us to draw conclusions about the influence of the moon on the tides, ebbs, fluctuations of the magnetic field, the level of solar radiation etc. And these factors directly affect the germination and subsequent development of plants.
March is the most important month in the gardener's calendar. Most crops are sown precisely at this time. AND proper sowing of seeds and planting plants is the key to a plentiful harvest. So before planning the March work in the garden and garden, read carefully what and when is better to do, and on what days it is better not to go into the garden at all.
