They all planted gardens by the phases of the Moon, using a method practiced in rural communities for over two thousand years. A method proven successful over that length of time deserves more than a label of folklore. It warrants a trial in our gardens too. Superior gardens are what gardeners want for their efforts, and planting by the phases of the Moon makes this possible. Seeds germinate faster.
Plants are hardier and more disease-resistant.
They blossom sooner and bear more fruit. Just as importantly, they better resist the stress of harsh weather, drought and insect infestation. Naturally, good gardening techniques must still be followed. Gardens need be watered, pruned, mulched, hoed, weeded and fertilized. Ugly potato beetles must be plucked off and young plants protected from spring storms.
