Calendar table: Autumn work in the garden, pruning and whitewashing trees

The table of the lunar calendar given on this page is a thematic selection from the universal , for working with fruit trees and shrubs (working with garden strawberries - in the thematic calendar "Vegetable Garden")

October - golden autumn, leaves and wedding.

In October, frosts come and gradually intensify. Berry bushes should be pruned, trees and shrubs should be pruned in early October; if you did not have time to do this earlier, you should feed them with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. Many pests may remain on trees and bushes from the summer, so they need to be collected and destroyed.

Opinion about autumn pruning trees: In the fall, it is advisable to limit yourself to only sanitary pruning. Formative pruning fruit trees it is better to postpone until spring, especially for large branches:
- firstly, the cutting of a large branch will not have time to drag on, and in winter Lately are accompanied by frequent thaws and even water can get under the garden pitch, which will inevitably lead to the appearance of rot;
- secondly, despite frequent winter thaws, very severe frosts occur every five to seven years and it may happen that the branch intended for pruning turns out to be more tenacious than the one intended for growth...

Depending on the sign in which the Moon was at the time of sowing, the plants are endowed with certain qualities. They can be productive with low-quality seeds or low-yielding with high-quality seeds, tall or short, fragile or strong. Therefore, sowing, planting and replanting plants should be carried out when the Moon is in favorable signs for cultivating the land and watering: Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces, taking into account the phase of the Moon for different plants. At the same time, cuttings, grafting, and rooting of the mustache are carried out.

The day of sowing a seed is the time when it touched the ground, or the time when we put it in water to soak. That is, as soon as moisture began to flow through the seed shell to the embryo, we can talk about the beginning of awakening. On this day, the plant’s harvest program is set, which cannot be changed during transplantation. Transplantation can only correct the condition of the plant. So, for example, if you sowed in Cancer, then picking in Virgo or Capricorn can make the root system and stem of the plants less fragile.

There is one very thing in agroastrology important rule: if the zodiac sign is suitable for sowing, but the phase of the Moon is not suitable, then you need to focus on the sign and carry out the work on the last day the Moon is in this auspicious sign. For example, good sign for sowing carrots, Taurus, and the phase of the Moon - growing, does not suit us. Then we sow in Taurus, but on the last day the Moon is in this sign. The phase of the Moon on this day will have almost no effect on the growth and harvest of carrots in the future.
