More DescriptionThis Primer Calendar is designed for beginners in Moon Planting who do not feel ready to work with the author's more comprehensive Antipodean Astro Calendar. This is a simpler version of the Astro Calendar, designed to have a broad appeal to gardeners and provide a place to keep gardening and nature observation records. Consideration to the rhythms of the Moon has been part of the planting and growing process of most early cultures throughout the world. Lunar rhythms not only affect large masses of water such as oceans (tides) and rivers, but also asserts an influence on very small bodies of liquid as can be found in plants (sap). When water is rising during the Waxing Moon, seeds sown and crops planted can more easily take up liquids than those sown in the waning phase. This is one of the first rhythms the knowledgeable gardener learns to work with to enhance plant vitality. The Moon has four significant rhythms that relate to four approaches of Moon planting explained in this Primer. Each method can be practiced singularly or in combination with the others. This Moon Planting Primer puts all this important information on the gardener's fingertips. You can readily look up phases, ascending and descending periods, proximity to the Earth or the plants' correlation to the Zodiac.
