Gardener's Moon

Great Capture Darren

Great photo !
I've never heard of that but I do know some people like to sow seeds in relation to the phases of the moon.

Oh wow! Now that’s a great moon shot!

Thanks! I think it's called biodynamic growing Hywel, complete bunk imo. It seems to confuse the Earth's shadow with the moon's gravitational effect but each to their own I guess

Is this what's called "the dark of the moon"?

I think some have done a study on Lunar growing, and it seemed to work, but as usual, not conclusive because it would requires years of study world wide & not just a couple of seasons in one area

I suppose if you were sowing / planting something special a wait of a few days to catch "right" moon could be worthwhile

Absolutely loads of people swear by it GG, there's over 120 biodynamic farms in the UK. Prince Charles is a fan. The Biodynamic Movement was created by Rudolf Steiner.
Dr Linda Chalker-Scott is a good debunker of this sort of thing, in fact she's worth Googling just for a good gardening read!
Personally, I suspect any successes that come from it are more down to the attention to detail & assiduous record keeping that ritualising growing entails.
