Lunar calendar of landings of the gardener for April, 2018

In pursuit of high-quality and abundant crops, gardeners and gardeners are ready to take any action, if only to achieve the desired. Many of them are skeptical of the lunar landing calendar, but seasoned summer residents do note a direct relationship between growing plants and the phases of the moon. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with suitable and unsuitable days for gardening works in April 2018.

How do moon phases affect planting?

In contrast to the solar effect on plants, the lunar has not yet been scientifically confirmed and quite a few are known about it. Nevertheless, it makes sense to pay attention to it, especially if you take into account the responses of summer residents on this subject.

Despite the fact that "garden astrology" is an unrecognized science, it can help the plant breeder to track the influence of the lunar phases on the growth and life cycle of the plants grown. Many gardeners probably had time to make sure that at the peak of lunar activity it is desirable to completely abandon any activity in the garden or in the garden, because even transplanting indoor plants often causes unpleasant consequences.

When planting plants in open ground, should learn the rules of crop rotation.

That is, the full moon and the new moon - a time when you should not spend your energy on agricultural work, because to achieve a good result still will not work.

At the same time, when the growing moon period begins, plants that stretch upward in their nature are distinguished by their particular vitality: flowers, grain crops, fruits and vegetables that bring harvest above the ground.

As for the root crops, then for their active growth and development the most suitable time for the fading moon phase, therefore, it is recommended to plant carrots, potatoes, beets and other vegetable crops at such a time.

If we take into account the lunar-solar effect on plants, you can get good results even with some errors in agricultural technology. You can create your lunar calendar (taking into account the phases of the moon and zodiac signs), or you can use our information, which is much simpler and more convenient.

Did you know? One of the most dangerous substances on the surface of the Moon is lunar dust, which, thanks to the peculiarities of its structure, easily penetrates into any gap, tearing off shoes to astronauts and making them more difficult to work. In addition, it is considered to be the culprit of such a phenomenon as "lunar hay fever", starting in a person by inhaling this dust.

Garden work in April 2018

The phases of the moon have a strong influence not only on the planting of plants, but also on any changes in the process of their cultivation. Therefore, in addition to the information on the planting calendar (we will consider it a little later), it is desirable to know about the most favorable numbers for gardening and gardening activities.

In April 2018, it's time to do this kind of work:

• organic dressings - 9, 10, 14, 19, 24, 25 numbers;
• the introduction of mineral dressings - 11, 15, 19, 20, 23, 25 numbers;

Some Tricks

It is possible to collect a good and abundant crop of vegetables and fruits only by observing certain agrotechnical requirements - this is probably known to almost everyone. However, knowing about some tricks experienced gardeners, the chances of success increase significantly. The most common are the following:

1. To increase the yield of parsley, turnip, cucumbers and some root crops (including carrots) will be helped by mulching the soil with peat, protecting it from sudden temperature fluctuations and serving as a good source of trace elements. It is desirable to mulch the beds in autumn, although the option of applying a mulch layer with the arrival of spring is not excluded.

   

2. It is easy to get a strong cucumber planting, especially if you hold the crops (until the first shoots appear) with temperature indicators of + 15 ... +18 ° С in the daytime and + 12 ... +14 ° С at night. By planting seedlings will be ready only when it reaches 20 days of age.

   

3. Carrots grow better after cucumbers, onions, cabbage and tomatoes, and seed germination can be observed at temperature indices of + 4 ... +5 ° С.

   

4. To get a gorgeous petunia bush, remove its upper part on the central shoot (for one season, this plant can be pinned several times).

   

5. You can ensure a generous harvest of currants by spraying the bushes with honey solution (before flowering). At 1 liter of water is usually enough 1 tablespoon of honey.

   

6. Onions on a turnip are useful to fertilize with potassium sulfate, since this vegetable responds extremely positively to sulfur. At the same time, the usual potassium, which comes to the plant along with top-dressings during the growing season, will help to ensure a high level of bulbs (you can simply scatter the ashes between the rows).

   

7. The tops of tomatoes will help to get rid of aphids and leaf-eating pests, and to prepare the salutary solution, 4 kg of chopped green mass is enough to pour 10 liters of water and boil over low heat for 30 minutes. The broth is allowed to cool, and then diluted in warm water (3.5 liters is enough) and laundry soap (10 g) is added.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with lunar calendar plantings gardener gardener on May 2018.
