Moon planting - An interesting aspect of planting!

Moon planting is better known as planting or gardening by the Moon and Moon phase gardening. It means deciding the dates according to the lunar cycle. It is a concept that ideates that the growth cycle of plants is influenced by the lunar cycle. As you know - the gravitational pull of the moon creates high and low tides in the oceans. Similarly, during the Full Moon phase, the soil produces more moisture to facilitate plant growth. Many gardeners plant seeds depending on the Moon Phase gardening concept or maintain a planting calendar to help with the same.

To ensure that your garden’s soil is fertile, use high-quality plant care products.
