'Plants are adapted to the primary cycles of time - the day, the month and the year. This book focuses on the second of these - the monthly rhythms which are so important for the plant world.'
Initially highly sceptical, the introduction to this book began to convince us. If average rainfall always peaks twice-monthly, three or four days after the Full and New Moons, if thunderstorms also follow the lunar pattern, maybe there is something in it. And if women's fertility is governed by the lunar cycle, it would be churlish to deny the same right to our plants.
This book provides a practical calendar with the details of the moon, the planets in the ascendant, and therefore which plants you should be planting or harvesting when. Activities such as grafting and transplanting should always be done under a waxing Moon, and this calendar tells you exactly when.
