Lunar gardener calendar for March 2022: planting days for sowing

All natural mechanisms are closely interconnected with each other, and even an insignificant, at first glance, detail can have a serious impact on the final result. An example of such an interaction is the relationship between the quantity and quality of the crop and the phase of the moon in which the plants were planted. Let's look at the lunar calendar for the gardener for March 2022, as a large number of crops are planted in this month.

The influence of the phases of the moon on plants

Before dealing with the lunar calendar for a particular month, let's find out what phases of the moon are and how they affect plant growth.

There are 4 phases in total:

growing - starts on the 7th and ends on the 20th;
decreasing - from 1 to 5 and from 22 to 31 March;
new moon - falls on March 6;
full moon - March 21.

Each phase has its own characteristics, which should be considered separately.

Growing

The waxing moon phase is divided into two parts:

first quarter;
second quarter.

In the first quarter, it is recommended to plant fast-growing crops, in which the aerial part is considered edible. Grass grows well grown under the lawn or for hay.

In the second quarter, it is recommended to plant legumes, melon, pepper, raspberry, blackberry and cucumber. In both phases, the force of attraction decreases, which allows the plants to get more moisture from the soil.In the first and second quarter, enhanced watering of plantations with plantings is recommended.

Pay attention! The closer the full moon, the less the stem of the plant stretches upwards. This should be taken into account when planting flowers grown in pots, baskets and planters.

Descending

During the waning moon, the earth's gravity begins to grow, which affects the increase in soil moisture. Leaf formation begins to slow down, and the main focus shifts to the development of the root system. During this period, experienced gardeners are advised to plant seeds of plants that take a long time to germinate. Trees planted in this phase form a powerful root system.

New Moon

The new moon is accompanied by a decrease in plant activity. Juices begin to move more slowly, the formation stops. On the new moon, it is best to harvest root crops and prune them.It is not recommended to transplant or sow new areas. Seeds harvested in the phase of the new moon give the best shoots and take root well.

Full Moon

During the full moon, the upper part of the plant, located above the soil surface, is most actively formed. The roots are poorly formed, and the influx of nutrients to them is practically absent. It is not recommended to plant crops that propagate on the site by dividing the roots. The exception is potatoes. Process going well:

weeding;
irrigation;
feeding;
preparations of medicinal herbs.
