How the moon affects the growth of vegetables
To obtain seedlings, gardeners acquire seeds of early, mid-season, late varieties of tomatoes, taking into account the area of cultivation and climatic conditions.
The placement of young plants in the soil depends on the following factors:
- months of plant transplant;
- the duration of the growing season;
- growing method.
On open beds, tomatoes are picked at an air temperature of + 17... + 20 ° С. If the weather is unstable, the owner sows the seeds 14 days later.
The following phases of the moon affect the growth of seedlings:
- new moon;
- waxing moon;
- full moon;
- descending disc.
On a full moon, the gardener does the following work:
- removes weeds;
- be careful when working with sharp tools while collecting seeds.
Do not work with young plants 2-3 days before the new moon. During this period, the vegetative growth of tomatoes changes. Without following the advice of astrologers, you can grow small fruits.
During the new moon, the following work is carried out:
- fight pests and diseases;
- shoots and weeds are removed.
During the waxing moon, the gardener plants the planting material in the ground. If you start work 2-3 days earlier than the due date, shoots appear, which stretch out and take root in the ground. In the full phase, the gardener is fighting weeds, pests, mulching the soil, but does not sow seeds and does not plant seedlings in the soil.
On the waning moon, seedlings are not dived for 12 days and young plants are not placed in the soil, since the pressure in the root system increases. A small defect on the main root has serious consequences for the seedling bush. Zodiac signs also influence the growth and development of tomatoes.
A good harvest ensures that the disc is found in the Fertility symbols:
- Corpuscle;
- Capricorn;
- Pisces;
- Cancer;
- Scorpio;
- Libra.
The gardener can be left without a crop by planting seeds during the period of unproductive signs:
- Aquarius;
- Aries;
- Virgo;
- Gemini;
- Leo.
To add nutrients to the soil, the moon must be in one of the following constellations:
- Cancer;
- Scorpio;
- Libra;
- Fish.
Planting seeds for young plants
Placing plants early in the ground leads to the elongation of the shoots. The gardener determines the time at which it is necessary to plant tomato seeds for seedlings using the lunar calendar.
The owner does the following work:
- sets the days on which to place young plants in the soil;
- determines the timing of keeping seedlings indoors.
He takes into account the cultivated variety of tomatoes, knows how many days the first sprouts will appear.
Early variety of tomatoes:
- seeds sprout in 90 days;
- the plants are placed in the soil 50 days after the seeds are hatched.
Mid-ripening and late-ripening varieties of tomatoes give their first shoots 130 days after planting seeds in the ground. Plants are placed in a permanent place in the garden after 80 days.
