Thank you so much for not rushing the information. It's so much more helpful to me to learn with your gentle and relaxed approach, rather than over- excited and fast talking that some other gardening channels do.
Glad it was helpful!
I have been planting by the moon now for 12 months it is exciting to see the difference it makes..I highly recommend this age old method
Have you noticed a difference? I did a full 12-month experiment and followed when to plant what and also did the opposite with insignificant results.
It certainly doesn't hurt, but I'm unsure if it helps. I just plant when I can now and that works fine too.
You mean 13 moons 😅
The old Farmer’s Almanac, published since 1818, is a Moon cycle planting guide. Of course they don’t mention the astrological aspect of the optimum planting time as being in the water signs, but that’s exactly what’s used. Being a student of Astrology (and a gardener) for over 30 years, I couldn’t help but notice the correlation. Fire signs are perfect for weeding and eliminating pests. Air signs will cause seeds to rot in the soil. Earth signs are perfect for planting root crops.
As an aside, my father is Cuban and told me they used to cut down trees for building during the waning Moon while in a fire sign, since it made the wood resistant to termites. Nature is amazing!
So glad you put out this info David! Love your videos!
You mentioned what every sign is good for but left a negative one for the Air signs, is there nothing good to be done during the Air signs? 🤔😅
@@goldmiiind Air signs are considered a barren period…Similar to fire signs. Good days for garden chores/clean up 😊
Thank you for sharing this 🙏
WOW this is lost knowledge you've passed on. THANK YOU SO MUCH
@@GrowingSelf-sufficient You’re welcome. Happy to share 😊
Being a biodynamic grower we use the Maria Thun planting calendar so that is about the rhythms of the moon and also the corresponding constellations. The day also has a rhythm …..in the morning our earth breaths out and after mid day breaths in so like you said when the moon is descending and in a root constellation it’s a great time for transplanting root crops. She re MT has written a results book showing her research on planting by the moon worth reading. As a side note harvesting at the chosen time allows produce to store better like a garlic planted on a root day and picked on a root day stored for 5months till planting out again no sprouting and great bulbs. Happy planting 🙏🏻
And harvesting at a certain time of day as sugars and nutrients move up and down the plants from leaf to roots with this cycle too. Watch the plant timelapse on the next video
Thirty years ago (Georgia, USA) I was planting peas for Fall harvest in my you pick garden. Horace Cannon (old school Almanac farmer) pulled up and inquired about what I was planting. White acre peas said I,,, Horace told me I was wasting my time because they would produce no peas, bad moon said he. Ha! said I to myself as I had been at this for a while myself. I grew the largest, most beautiful pea bushes you have ever seen that season. But, did not harvest enough peas for a meal.
I just wanted to thank you for your non political approach...I wish there was the library of Alexandra (and your insights) available to me then. I get it now. Retired recently and plan to garden until the end. Thank you again. Tom
My mums been buying these calendars since I was a little kid. I’m now 31 and in march 32.
Hey folks. My internet crashed during the live chat and I can`t get back into it so if u had a question from the chat, just drop it here again please in the comments section.
Fabulous video David, my grandfather used to plant his vegetable garden with the moon. The same as he also used to fish with the moon as well. He was a great fisherman and always had a wonderful vegetable garden. I only hope he is watching down at my gardening adventures all these years later. I am furthering my gardening journey next year I have enrolled in TAFE to do a Horticulture course. I recently finished reading the Permaculture book written by Bill Mollinson, big book took ages to get through. Slowly putting somethings in place in my garden.
I love the way you explained it here. Your communication style is clear, creative, and approachable. I'm glad I happened upon your channel
Welcome aboard!
I followed the farmers almanac moon planting guide a few times in the last 15 years and turned out to be the best gardens Ive ever had
DUDE. I totally love this.. was a little sckeptical but thought about it and of course we are 97%water.. the best bit was all the little voices. reminded me of crazy days. LOL The start was just the best... love love love it. hugs...
I've been planting by the moon for over 20 years, however I have learned so much from this video, thank you ever so much ❤🙏
Remember to enjoy your lives. It's important x
My grandfather always planted by the moon. I did as well for many years but, got away from it. Interestengly, I've struggled with germination for the past couple of seasons. I'll get back to it! Thanks for the content. It's always beautifully shot and, fun to watch. Good on you!
Thanks Mr Weedy I've got my calendar now
Hahaha your seeds are adorable!!! Very interesting , the moon, very influential in our lives. Loved your video 🌗
Great video! I'm working on making my own video about lunar planting and I'm happy to have found your video and see that amazing calendar. I consistently plant my garlic by the full moon and will be using the moon phases more this year for other crops. Thanks for sharing
❤❤❤ G’day weedy, Hope you’re doing great and speaking of the moon. Remember…. your posture. It’s important for all of us.! 🤓🐝🪴🥰🥸
Yep..I plant this way , as well! Thanks so
Much
Awesomeness ❤
Hey that’s very interesting. My grandpa/grandma talked about the moon cycles and it seems to make a difference in my garden, too! I’ll do whatever makes growing easier. I, too don’t need to understand when the results are telling the story. Glad someone is talking about this. 🎉 🎉
yeah 👍
good stuff, i wrote it on my whiteboard on the fridge
Oh I laughed tears on the introductory part with the baby seedlings wondering about the tomatoe not popping up. Brilliant! Not so sure on the timing with the moon though, but still very interesting to watch the further development .
Agree. Would like to know what other environmental differences there were. Feel he needs to do this for a couple of cycles to get a better feel for it.
Be good if the environment could be consistent between them except the state of the moon.
Also the tidal argument seems slightly off. Tides have a couple of frequencies, as the earth rotates daily, but also as the moon orbits the earth. The latter results in stronger or weaker tides throughout the month due to Syzygy, the conjunction or opposition of the moon and sun relative to earth.
Maybe what's happening is that plants are able to detect this Syzygy frequency and prefer to grow into a period where this Syzygy is maximized as tides would be higher and more access to favourable water conditions is likely.
Wonder if you could simulate this by placing seedlings on a centrifuge designed to provide a simulation of the increased force.
Also controlling light that the seedlings are exposed to simulate the effect of this cycle.
Suppose this could also be atmospheric pressure differences, as the atmosphere is subject to this same tidal forces and frequencies.
Can't thank you enough for your insite! In Canada we used to follow the Farmer's Almanac for this truly valuable information. When we moved to Fiji from Canada we lost sight of this and our garden has been struggling, so glad to have found you. Plant on!
Thank You I will be using this method from now on in starting this week 👌timing 💜 love watching your videos your a child at heart with your productions 👌💜
Hello mate, earthly hug from lisbon here, thank you so much for all that u give, there are no way to explain how it feels, starting my own mini forest and u are a big part of how starts. Thank u once more
Do you read Borda D’Agua? Should be very helpfull for you in Lisboa ✌
Thanks for a great informative session on moon planting. You’ve explained it very clearly. I was going to plant some seeds today, but as we’re heading to a full moon, I’ll hold off until next week. And maybe get myself a beautiful calendar too 😘🙋🏽♀️💚
I have tried it for four years now. I am sorry but I did not see any difference at all 🤷🏻♀️. But I am very happy that it works for you! 🍀
Well, i guess the moon might be one of your considerations on when to plant but more important is your weather forecast. Never sow carrots in a drought.
Farmers would do it if it worked. It would show up in their data
Just found you weedy and I could listen too you all day
The knowledge you share is so helpful namaste bro
Thanks and welcome
Thank you Weedy, have just ordered Calander.
🇬🇧 high all 👍
Learnt something new today .. thank you weedy garden 🙏🌾👍
EXCELLENT INFO MATE ❤ Yes I do need to GR8 Myself a Calendar for nxt year ❤🥰😊😎
Always enjoying your videos. Thank you from Belgium
I’ve been planting by the moon for thirty years and recommend it to everyone. Not only do seeds sprout and grow strongly, there is less transplant shock too. 💚🌘🌕🌒
Look at Rudolf Steiners work on agriculture. Think you will find it very interesting.
Awesome! love your style & have just ordered two 2024 calendars . Happy gardening from NZ 🥰
Ah! That was you 🌚 All going well you well get them before xmas.
@@TheWeedyGarden I just got my Moon Calendar in the post yay! And I LOVE IT!!!!
Thanks Dave! Just ordered the 2024 calendar. GREAT CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!!
Thank you. Such a good video. While you were explaining it, I thought 'Surely the moon light also has a part to play in the growth cycle as well as the water content'. I dunno, just an thought. Have a blessed day 🙏
Thank you, you cleared up a lot for me, the American almanac was always confusing for me and all those symbols.
I really love how fun and yet peaceful this video is. Thank you for all you do ❤
Thank you Weedy for another fabulous video 😊😊😊
Fabulous Sweety 🩵
Fascinating. It makes sense that if large bodies of water respond to the moon, it can be just as true at the more molecular level
🫵🏻😎
Thank you weedy, I’ve always wondered about this. Your video is so beautiful, I loved the shot of the shade tunnel fading to the moon.
Thank you for the tips and tricks! greetings from arizona 9B
Great info bro. Love your videos 🎉
💐💐💐💐 enjoyed😊
Merry Christmas Weedy and family.
Same to you!
Thanks weedy ❤ I learned alot I didn’t understand before
Me too. I learn as much as you on EVERY video. As my videos are about what I am learning…My other channel on the other hand, I share what I KNOW. 🎥🫵🏻 I will start when I have 1000 subscribers. youtube.com/@atanygivenmoment?si=MBx0poXg4W-_PyHN
I am 60 years old and have been planting since I was 8 years old year by the moon, my grandmother thought me how.
This is so cool! I had no idea the moon had such a great effect on our little seeds. I'll be giving this moon planting a go for sure. Thank you for always putting out such happy and informative content.
Fascinating!! I need all the help I can get!
I love this and I will try it!! Can't stop wondering how this works in nature. The plant spreads its seeds and so the seed touches the soil 'anytime' during the month, right? And then it waits for the perfect time (temperature, moisture, moon) to come up? Plants don't perticulary sow at full moon I guess? Or does the plant 'know' when to drop the fruit, seed etc.?
Thankyou so very much for sharing your valuable time, knowledge and wisdom to us all David 😊
This is fantastic info and has this video has really filled my cup!
This is something that I have always wanted to learn more about and look deeper into. This truly so helps and I'm excited to dive into this deeper !
Thankyou for also sharing the link for these wonderful calendars too, I will be investing in one 😊
Keep Shining 🌟🌝🌟
Glad it was helpful!
20 years ago, I planted Weed with my brother. We only used compost and human urine. We watered, cut and feeded them in the rythm of moonphases and the yield was extremely high.
some excellent advice and wisdom from the OG plant god lol
Thanks again Weedy love all the great videos.
Thx for sharing Weedy...you're the best!
Weedy, you need to provide a digital copy on your website for sale
I have asked Thomas for that but he does not want it digital
I really like listening to you and your deep wisdom. Its just to remember ❤
Thank you Mr weedy :)
No worries!
Congratulations and thank you! This video was amazing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Weedy 😊
😃👍
Fantastico como siempre, Weedy😊
Got to have to get this, be good to help mum’s side of the garden.
Much love from Florida
its best to plant a lot of stuff during new moon, full moon was shown to increase stress in coffee plants
Nice explaination, thanks 🙏
Might be the reason l have poor germination at times..
Some of my germination has been a bit off n on, so I think I might try this David, also I hadn't really clicked before about certain times during the day....ie not necessarily the whole day being a good time....and being a pensioner I am time rich....so am very fortunate to be able to sow seeds whenever. Great video as always David, your visual creativity always adds so much....
Thanks so much for this valuable information i will buy this Callander and follow it all the best
Learnt heaps out of that brother n learnt even more today n watching ur videos
thanx
Interesting I will try it. How about in nature? Do the seeds that fall and get dispersed wait for the moon cycles?
Oh wow, these are still going? I use to buy these back in the late '80's. Right through most of the '90s I collected them on walls as much for enjoying the look of them. These posters were some of many things I let go when I did a long move in 2013 and for some reason did not chase them up. Still planting as the universe tells me though.
Thank you for the explanation, David🙏. I know that farmers in Indonesia use certain cycle to do planting. But I thought it was only based tradition, there is no scientific explanation, and also based on myth (more into this actually 😂). But by this video I can understand why those old farmers use this certain cycle. I think I will try this moon cycle of gardening 🥰
Oh Weedy Weedy, you are food to my soul 🥲🧘😉
😋
Really interesting... you would think seed companies would promote this knowledge that seems to bear so directly on germination rates and seed vitality
Lol. Anything that is a little out of the box is not used in the mainstream. You are right though
Much appreciated info, Weedy!🌿
Are best times for seed starting also best for transplanting, or taking cuttings?
Thanks man and thanks man and thanks man for the calendar link and the easy explanation. I've watched other videos and man they confuse me with all the talking (American) haha again thanks for making it easy.
Hei Weedy, have you experimented as well with lahkowsky coils for improving growth or healing plants? Would be interesting to see a professional video on it. Finding a lot of controversial discussions on the internet. Thanks for your content. Cheers
My old neighbor, the crazy lady gave me the same advice, plant, prune and compost according to the cycle of the moon...my seedlings look terrible. I think she was right
As a gardener, I used moon calenders with great succes. But waning/waxing moon is not as important as acending/decending moon. Know the difference!!
As a sailor I can tell you, that the strongest tides apear at full moon AND new moon.
Why? It's simple when you understand the astronomical principles (not the astrological).
It's physics basically, and the most important factor is gravitation!
Looking at it from this perspective, it all makes sense and is easy to understand!
🙂❤️
Use a Bio Dynamic Moon planting chart...uses constellation actually in the sky..the real thing...not some other system outer date...cheers
Exactly what I was thinking throughout the video and what I was hoping someone else would pick up on too! Whether the moon is ascending or descending has a much more physical impact on what's happening on Earth than the moon phase. If you're going to do lunar gardening, then I suggest using the biodynamic calendar developed by Maria Thun and now continued by her son.
@@hilly2777 I always used this one 🙂❤️
Well, it all sounds perectly logical to me. Why wouldn't the moon have an influence on a plants growing cycle when it sits between us and the sun to varing degrees during its cycle. I will be giving it a go from now on.
Thank you for all the immense effort you must put in making these beautiful videos, I love playing them to my young grandchildren when they come visit me, we have lots of fun watching them together. Plus, the way the world is going these days they are going to need all of these practical skills just to survive in the not to distant future.
Refine this practice by using the biodynamic calendar for not only planting but pruning, feeding and harvesting each plant for what you wish it to provide. Fruit, leaf, flower or root. I think this has been explained by Rudolph Steiner and his many students.
I will love to see u doing some Korean natural farming, recolecting imos (indigenous microorganism) fpj fermented plant juice and stuff like that,😍😍
maybe you should watch some of my other video 😀
@@TheWeedyGardeni agree, i was only watching videos that interested me, but since i start watching EVERY of yours videos, i really start learning. I did see u doing seaweed and banana peel fertilizers in The LAB video. Was The first video i saw and it make me go deeeeeeeep into organic grow. Your tips, methods, voice, energy, creative video editing. Everything makes it just PERFECT.
Hey brother how you going I just bought my moon chart for next year
🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Hi Weedy. Interesting content indeed. I wonder if this doesn't apply to humans as well.
💚
Radical roots gd things grow in fertile soil
Thanks! South Asia specially Sri Lanka used to have moon based calendar and growing and harvesting crops. You may think why not Sun? Because moon is the only constant rotation around earth unlike Sun. Suns irregularities are what causing leap year and other irregular georgian calendar. These traditional methods are now lost in time due to invasion and knowledge massacre happened in past. Even I know what fragment I heard from elders in past.
Now what left in those methods are bunch of scammers who says they know how to read horescope and palm reading.
I position trees and plants where they get the sun they need at different times of the year. Watch nature, observe, nature will show you.
Sounds backwards to me. The sun rises and sets quite regularly and the moon waxes and wans on different days from year to year. Some years have a month with two full moons. Known as Blue moons ect. That’s also why The Farmers Almanac is reprinted every year.
Will this calendar also work for northern hemisphere?
You can just see in your IPhone what time it is in another country to do adjustments from Sydney time to anywhere in the world.😊
Yes! 💪🏻👍🫵🏻😀
Yeah, in the days before electricity planting at full moon was the only practical choice.
🌜🌱🌿😊💜👏🏼
hello, thank you for another lovely video ❤ any chance to buy the calendar in pdf and send it by email rather than post? Im from Czech Republic (central Europe) and I've been trying to lower my carbon footprint 😊 Thanks Adele
Sorry. The artist won’t agree to that.
This has never made sense to me.. Mother Nature plants her seeds whenever the wind blows..😊
True, but that doesn't mean conditions are the same when they get in the ground.
I would love to buy this calendar. Any idea where I can get it online? Thanks!
Did you watch the video? lol. www.theweedygarden.com 👍
G'day mate . How do I get my hands on one of these charts please . I live in Kyogle thanks
Easy. Just go to my site 🤗 www.theweedygarden.com/2024-moon-planting-guide
Great video. Is the time daylight savings?
Hey Weedy, would that mean the best time to get a haircut is during the 4th week to stop it growing so fast?
Yes, absolutely perhaps 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheWeedyGarden I know right. Thanks Chris.
@@TheWeedyGarden I forgot to add. maybe the best time to cut grass as well.
