Ancient Moon Gardening

Ancient Moon Gardening is a traditional technique used to maximise crop growth and production, and to increase the beauty of gardens.

It combines Moon Phase with Moon Signs and is easy to use; and it works!

My Ancient Moon Gardening  Mini Planting Guide is available in my FREE newsletter. This will give you the best planting days.

My Ancient Moon Gardening Super Almanac is a fantastic tool for gardeners and farmers and is designed to easily and clearly tell you the phase of the Moon and whether it is in Barren or Fertile signs; and what to do on each of those days. 

Basically the Moon has its waxing phase from New Moon to Full Moon when the water in plants is rising. The waning phase is from Full Moon to New Moon when the water is retreating to the roots.

The Moon travels past various even sized sections of the sky called the Zodiac. There are twelve signs in the Zodiac, some are Barren while others are Fertile.

Ancient Moon Gardening will get you back working in harmony with the land as ancients did for thousands of years.  it simply combines two rules.

1. Moon Phase

When the moon is getting bigger, known as waxing, the life force or energy is going into a growing phase. So its time to plant seedlings, apply foliage fertilisers, prune to stimulate growth and any activity where you want growth and foliage and general expansion.

When the moon is getting smaller, known as waning, the life force or energy is going into the roots. Now its time to apply organic manure, harvest, prune to retard growth, and kill weeds.

Root crops can be planted at 3rd quarter but please remember, as the Moon begins to disappear at the last quarter, do not plant anything! Its a time for  maintenance only.

Rule 2. Moon Sign

The Moon moves through the zodiac and is in each sign for about 2 or 3 days. Some signs are fertile and some are barren. Planting must be done in fertile signs while barren signs are perfect for harvesting to reduce mould and hence save crop loss during storage.

The Fertile Signs are Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces and Libra.  The Barren signs are Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Aquarius and Virgo.

Ther is much more detail and there is an article on my other website www.ancientmoongardening.com 

My Ancient Moon Gardening – Mini Planting Guide is available in my FREE newsletter. This will only give you the best planting times.

My Ancient Moon Gardening Super Almanac is designed to easily and clearly tell you the phase of the Moon and whether it is in Barren or Fertile signs.

It tells you what to do on each day in a simple day by day format. Each season is over 40 pages of incredibly useful and essential information in your hands. It is based on Australian time zones. I have especially created it to be easy to use. 

And it also has my Gardening Tips for each month.

All dates and time are Australia AEST or AEDT for the summer.  And I include easy time conversions for all of Australia and New Zealand.

For you the whole year is just $ 49 email in ink saving format, or $ 66 printed and posted. An issue of over 45 pages will be sent to you each season.

 The Special introductory Deal is the first season FREE and a money back guarantee.

Payment is via cheque or direct deposit to a bank account.  I could put a big PAYNOW button and you would join a computer run program. But I think we are part of a “tribe” of Moon Gardeners. So I prefer either email or phone contact with you to ensure you are getting what you want, and what you expect.

This system works! And these days we need the “edge” to maintain crops and beautiful plants in the garden.

Hello Nikki,
I like things simple! That’s why I don’t have fancy colour coded boxes or confusing circles. All I simply do is tell you what to do – on what days!

The dates are on the left, then I list the moon position and phase (for those who like to know), then I list what you can do on those days.

I provide the planting dates and times completly free on this site and in my newsletter. Or for a small fee you have the dates to prune (for growth or to retard growth), harvest, weed, fertilize, and much much more!

Thank you for your interest and happy gardening!
Kerry
