What you need to know about the phases of the moon in March

Why does it sometimes happen that with active and careful care, plants do not grow well, and the harvest is far from expected? It turns out that there may be several reasons for this, and one of them is the lack of knowledge about the phases of the moon.

No one doubts that the moon has big influence not only on the tides, ebbs, gravitational processes, but also on all organisms living on our Earth. It is worth knowing when each month's climactic phases, i.e. new moon and full moon, occur in order to plan plant care. But this does not mean that the rest of the time the Moon does not affect the life processes of plants.

The peak of lunar activity falls on the full moon and new moon, on the new moon the plants “sleep”, or are in the “inhibited” phase. Seedlings planted these days will not adapt well to new conditions, as a result they will simply wither, and the seeds may not “wake up”. On the full moon, on the contrary, there is a peak of energy activity, but the result will be the same. On the growing moon, it is better to sow plants whose fruits ripen above the ground, on a fading lunar phase- tuberous and other "underground" plants.

  2. The walls of the seedling box should not be transparent, otherwise the sun's rays will destroy the tender roots. It must have drainage holes, and its base must be rigid, otherwise the movement of the soil during transportation will break the fragile roots of the seedlings.
  3. Experienced gardeners advise covering cups with seedlings with a transparent film, they should have drainage holes. It is better to use peat cups, this will avoid damage to the roots when transplanting seedlings to a permanent place. Before the sprouts appear, the cups with future seedlings, or the container, should be in a well-lit place, the air temperature in the room should be 22-25C, or higher.


Timely spraying with chemicals will help the kidneys get rid of uninvited "tenants" - pathogens and pests. Processing is started when the average daily temperature is within 4-5C of heat.

Unfortunately, mice and hares sometimes cause very great harm to the bark. If such a problem occurs, the bark will need to be lubricated with garden pitch and tied with polyethylene. The bandage must be loose, otherwise it may cut into the bark.

Sanitary pruning consists in removing diseased and shrunken branches that can contribute to the spread of pathogens of dangerous diseases. The branches are cut, retreating 2-3 cm to a healthy bark, the wounds are cleaned in the same way. It is better not to use organic solvents for overgrowing wounds, this can end in failure. For these purposes, it is better to use a garden var or oil paint containing natural drying oil. It is necessary to cover up, capturing the bark around the wound. All cut branches and pieces of the removed and torn bark must be burned. It will not be superfluous to update the sun-protection whitewash.

When growing any plants, the signs of the Zodiac in which the Moon is located are important. The most fertile are: Taurus, Cancer and Scorpio. They characterize certain periods that affect plants. They are called the days of the Fruit, Flower, Root and Leaf.

Based on these days, certain works are carried out with plants.

Plants do not give a good harvest if planted with the Moon under the unfertile constellations of Aquarius and Leo.

The best results are obtained when sowing seeds in the signs of Capricorn, Cancer, Taurus, Scorpio and Pisces.

The beds are dug up and cultivated. Compost is laid. Mineral, organic top dressings are introduced.

Branches frozen in a dense ice crust are carefully released, otherwise they will break when the snow melts. Stamps of trees and bushes in severe frosts are covered for a while with spruce branches.

The ice crust on beds with perennials is broken to avoid rotting of the roots. To speed up the melting of snow, it is sprinkled with peat, ash.

March seedlings

It's time to bring the soil prepared for seedling mixtures into heat. If we are going to steam it or heat it in the oven, we do it now. You can't delay any further. In soil treated high temperatures, not only pathogenic, but also beneficial microorganisms die, it becomes clean, but lifeless (like distilled water).

It depends on us which microorganisms will colonize it faster. We spill the soil with a solution of Fitosporin M or Baikal EM1, which contain beneficial soil microorganisms, let them multiply, breathe life into the soil. Vermiculite, perlite, as well as mineral fertilizers are added to ready-made (steamed) soil mixtures.

Having prepared the soil mixtures, we decide which crops we will grow in seedlings and in what quantity. It depends not so much on the number of beds in the garden, but on the area of ​​​​well-lit window sills. If there are no conditions for seedlings at home, it is better to abandon its cultivation in favor of greenhouse, greenhouse seedlings.

In the end, you can sow the seeds at home in such a way that after the emergence of seedlings, send seedlings to the dacha - under a film shelter. But we cover the bed with a film in advance so that it warms up before we bring the seedlings into it.

Having decided on the assortment and quantity of vegetables that we will grow in the coming season, we go to the store for seeds. We give preference to those varieties and hybrids that were successful in previous years. We take novelties for the experiment. And we will not be limited to tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, white cabbage.

To start the vitamin season earlier, we will buy seeds of kale, lettuce, arugula, spinach, and chard. True, this greenery does not immediately take root in every family, but it is necessary to gradually accustom the household to green spinach soup, lettuce or cabbage rolls from Chinese cabbage. These crops will take up little space, they can be grown as an intermediate crop in the same tomato garden.

In April, you will not regret that you gave a little space on the windowsill to lettuce. Plants planted in the ground in cool weather grow by leaps and bounds, giving juicy leaves. When sown immediately in open ground, lettuce does not have time to show all its power and taste: hot weather destroys it.

It is worth sowing seedlings. And not only for the sake of earlier fragrant greens. Celery, planted next to cabbage, repels pests from it, and we may not have to spray it from aphids, whites and other lovers of succulent leaves.

Sow one or two dozen leek seeds. Beautiful, stately plants will decorate any bed. And you can use plants without waiting for autumn, especially if you sow an early variety.

But we will not sow everything at once and in large quantities. We will give one seedling or cassette box to early cabbage, sowing several seeds of white cabbage, cauliflower, Beijing, kohlrabi, broccoli.

Immediately sow the seeds in separate small pots or cassettes and. Later, when the roots of plants have mastered the soil in seedlings, we will transfer them to larger cups or cassettes.

You can also sow a few early seeds, so that, having created favorable conditions for them (good lighting, transshipment into more spacious containers as they grow), plant them in the ground, preserving the root ball, well-formed bushes.

The rest of the tomato seeds intended for growing seedlings in the room will be sown later. In the April sun, seedlings will develop faster.
