The influence of the moon on planting and caring for them according to the lunar calendar of the gardener and gardener October 4, 2017

Moon in the zodiac sign Pisces (+ )

Moon in sign Fish. this is a very productive sign. Provides a plentiful harvest, but poorly stored and not suitable for seed purposes.

Plants have good roots, short stem, tasty fruits.

Favorable in Pisces:

• sowing, planting and transplanting any plants, especially vegetables, pumpkin and nightshade;
• transplanting;
• planting potatoes;
• sowing flower plants;
• watering, loosening.

Maybe:

• top dressing, especially mineral foliar, organic fertilizers and in small doses. However, it is not recommended to flood and overfeed plants, this can lead to the development of fungal diseases and rot;
• grafting, budding, preparation of cuttings for grafting, rooting of cuttings, pruning of trees and shrubs, pinching;
• grass mowing;
• harvesting leaves of medicinal plants, laying compost.

It is possible to sow and plant the following crops in fish:

• vegetables: peanuts, eggplant, gourds, legumes, daikon, zucchini, cabbage (early white cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, red, Beijing, Savoy, cauliflower), potatoes, lagenaria, chard, carrots, cucumbers, parsnips, squash, peppers ( sweet and bitter), tomatoes, radishes, radishes, beets, pumpkins;
• spicy greens: artichoke, basil, watercress, parsley, lettuce, celery, asparagus, dill, horseradish, chicory, spinach;
• fruits and berries: grapes, pears, strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, plums, currants, wild roses, apple trees;
• field: corn, alfalfa, oats, wheat, rye, sorghum, sunflower, barley;
• flowers: carnation, lily, sage;
• indoor plants: aquarium plants (vallisneria spiral, aquatic cabomba, curly bovia (curly or sea cucumber), bryophyllum, ivy-shaped budra, geraniums (felt, capitate, curly, strong-smelling), naked hypocyrta, orchid, papyrus, fishtail palm, pellionia Davo , Pilea (Kadié, creeping, coin-leaved, small-leaved), plectranthus, ripsalis (empty-fruited, strange), common hornwort, cryptocoryne), brownish siderasis, plough-leaved fat woman, Menzies tolmia, ampelous ficuses (dwarf, rooting), helksina Soleyrol, sprawling cyperus, Canadian elodea.

Unfavorable in fish:

• treatment for pests and diseases;
• pruning plants;
• pour, overfeed plants and prepare earthen mixtures, tk. the likelihood of decay and the occurrence of fungal infections is high;
• dough baking.

14 lunar day (+ )

October 4, 2017 at 12:00 - 14 lunar day. one of the most energy-rich days of the entire lunar cycle. This day is well suited for active actions in the garden, the fight against obstacles with the involvement of large resources. This day is conducive to the beginning of new business in the garden and garden.

The full moon is already close, the moon is reaching its maximum, as well as its force of attraction, and with it the vital activity of plants is growing, which draw moisture and microelements from the soil.

• watering and fertilizing;
• work with the earth, replanting, planting crops;
• harvest.

• pruning, picking, pinching, grafting and pinching plants.

Waxing Moon (+ )

The moon is in phase Waxing Crescent. the circulation of vital forces and plant juices, the activity of the biofield is directed from the roots upwards, from the center to the periphery. This is the period of the most intensive development of the aerial parts of plants.

The seed planted at this time receives a program for more active upward growth, intensive development of above-ground biomass. By pruning plants during this period, we awaken dormant buds and new shoots quickly grow from them. It is important to know the measure when pruning, otherwise the plant may bleed and die.

On the growing moon it is favorable:

• sowing, planting and transplanting green, leafy, fruit and melon crops;
• planting and transplanting fruit trees, berry bushes and strawberries;
• tillage, watering and mineral dressing, rooting of cuttings;
• graft.

On the growing moon is not favorable:

• Budding. The roots at this time react little to damage, but the survival rate and viability of the root system are reduced, therefore, plants planted and transplanted during this period should be constantly monitored.

Influence of the day of the week (+ )

Day of the week - Wednesday, this day is patronized by Mercury, the messenger of the gods. On Wednesday, you can redo a lot of things in the garden that you have postponed for later. The environment is generally good for any kind of work. The calculation of the harvest is especially easy.

The environment is favorable for plants, they tolerate any kind of work well. It is also good for creating groundwork for the future, during this day you can do a lot in the garden and garden in order to free up the second half of the week as much as possible.

Table: Moon in the signs of the zodiac, phases of the moon and types of work

October is a golden autumn, a leaf cutter and a wedding man.

Frosts intensify in October. Berry bushes should be pruned, trees and shrubs should be well fed with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. Many pests can remain on trees and shrubs since the summer, so they need to be destroyed.
If organic fertilizers are not applied to the garden in September, then this must be done in October. It's time to prepare the beds for winter sowing of cold-resistant crops: dill, spinach, onions and radishes, as well as carrots, celery, etc. Strawberries can be sprinkled with wood ash - this will be a good top dressing for her.
In October, the soil is prepared for forcing greenery at room conditions and planting seedlings in early spring.

Folk signs about the weather in October:
October will cover the earth where with a leaf, where with a snowball.
Thunder in October portends a snowless, short and mild winter.
If in October a leaf from a birch and oak does not fall cleanly, expect a harsh winter.

Based on one interesting folk sign, we will try to compile together with you, one of the main tasks of which is to help plan the work of the 2019 garden season

October is the middle of autumn, so many gardeners are already looking forward to the end of the season and a break from summer worries. But it’s too early to relax: in October there are still many things to do in the garden and the garden, and their timely completion will help you maintain the health of the plants and lay the foundation for a good harvest for the next season.

In October, only cold-resistant crops remain in the garden beds. They need to be removed before the onset of severe frosts, stored or processed. It is also necessary to carry out - digging, loosening, sowing. In addition, vegetables are planted in October for the winter.

Picking late vegetables

In early October, late varieties of cauliflower are harvested, followed by red and white cabbage. The last, in the third decade of October, Brussels sprouts are harvested. The beds after the cabbage are carefully cleaned, removing the roots, fallen leaves - cabbage pests hibernate in them.

All types of cabbage are carefully examined before being stored for storage, rotten heads are allowed for processing or food. Healthy large heads of cabbage are wrapped in newspapers and hung in the cellar by the stalks - this way they retain their natural moisture and taste longer.

Also in October, winter radish, root parsley, parsnips and celery are harvested. A large leek is removed, a small one can be left in the garden - in May it will quickly grow and give a fresh crop. They also leave small parsley - it winters well and starts growing one of the first in the garden.

At the end of October, horseradish roots are dug up. By late autumn, they are gaining the maximum amount of nutrients. Healthy roots are selected for planting and immediately planted for the next season, the rest of the roots are used to prepare hot spices and blanks.

tillage

After harvesting, it's time to prepare the beds for the next season. Heavy dense soils are dug up with the introduction of organic matter - rotten sawdust, straw, tree foliage. This technique will help improve the structure and enrich the soil with nutrients. Loose soils can not be dug, but only loosened to a depth of 5-7 cm.

At the same time, organic or mineral fertilizers are applied - manure or bird droppings, compost, wood ash, superphosphate and potassium sulfate. On clay moist soils, autumn application of urea is also recommended - it retains nitrogen and does not allow it to be washed out with melt water.

Table 1. Fertilizer application rates for autumn tillage.

Name	Application rate
Horse manure	3 kg/m2
Mullein	5-6 kg/m2
chicken manure	1.5-3 kg/m2
Urea	40-50 g/m2
Superphosphate	35-50 g/m2
Potassium sulfate	30 g/m2
wood ash	150-200 g /1 m2
Lime (only on acidic soils)	150-400 g/m2

Note! The given norms are suitable for most garden crops, but some vegetables need additional feeding! When applying fertilizers, it is necessary to take into account the agrotechnics of plants.

Greenhouse processing

Greenhouses and greenhouses in October prepare for winter. Film is removed from collapsible structures. Capital buildings are washed, treated for pests and diseases in any suitable way - disinfectant solutions, fungicides and insecticides.

Prepare the soil in the greenhouse for spring planting: loosen or dig, fertilize, sow green manure. To preserve the fertility and health of the soil, partial soil replacement and composting are recommended. Before the onset of cold weather - at the end of October - they strengthen the greenhouse structure to avoid its deformation under the snow.

The most important soil parameters for a tomato are water permeability and friability. These plants have a strong, branched root, sometimes going into the ground to a depth of 1 m. Its main part is located in the first 50 cm of the soil. More details - in.

Planting winter vegetables and sowing green manure

In early and mid-October, winter garlic is planted with cloves or single cloves; bulbils can be planted in October only in the southern regions - they will freeze out in a cold climate. The teeth are buried in the ground to a depth of 3-5 cm and the plantings are covered with mulch from peat compost.

Winter planting of cold-resistant vegetables and herbs for early food (lettuce, dill, parsley and carrots, radishes) is carried out at an average daily temperature of + 2-5 ° C on pre-prepared beds. At higher temperatures, the seeds will germinate and die during the first frost. To preserve natural moisture and protect against freezing, winter crops are mulched with peat or compost after the first frost.

Light sandy soils, prone to rapid drying in spring, are recommended to be sown with green manure or mulched with straw, mowed grass, compost. This technique will not only preserve the soil structure, but also create a breeding ground for earthworms and microorganisms.

Note! In autumn, fast-growing green manures are used: mustard, oil radish, rye. They are not buried, but left in the garden before winter - this helps to retain snow in the first winter months, retain moisture and nourish the soil.

Garden and flower beds

Autumn work in the fruit-bearing garden comes down to collecting the last fruits, fertilizing and pruning trees, protecting them from pests and diseases. It is also necessary to pay attention to the lawn, flower beds and flower beds.

Collection of late fruits

In early October, late varieties of apples, pears, and quince are harvested. As a rule, they are stored for storage: they are placed loosely in boxes, covered with sawdust or shavings, or wrapped in soft paper. The harvested fruits are left until the first frost in an unheated barn, and then they are removed to the cellar - so the temperature of the fruits evens out and gradually decreases without the formation of condensation on the skin.

At the beginning of the month, berries and fruits are removed before frost - chokeberry, wild rose, remontant raspberries. After the first frosts, red rowan, viburnum and other bitter berries are harvested. They are processed, dried or frozen.

Planting seedlings

October is the best time for planting seedlings of fruit trees and shrubs. The soil has already cooled down enough not to cause active growth, but at the same time it is easy to work. Growth processes in seedlings slow down, the plant has time to take root and get stronger by the beginning of the new season.

Planting pits are prepared a few weeks before planting - in late September or early October, while the necessary fertilizers are immediately applied. Seedlings are purchased from nurseries or garden centers to avoid regrading. Landing is carried out on a warm, dry day, observing all the rules of agricultural technology.

If you are late with the timing of the preparation of planting pits and planting, it is better not to risk it, but to dig in the seedlings until spring.

Step 1. They choose a dry and sunny site, dig a trench on it with an orientation from east to west, while making the southern slope more gentle. The width depends on the number of seedlings.

Step 2 Seedling varieties are signed with an indelible marker on plastic tags or a laying plan is drawn so that the varieties are not confused during spring planting.

Step 3 Seedlings are laid with their tops to the south so that the root system lies on the northern wall of the trench, and the lower third of the stems is located in the trench. The roots are neatly straightened.

Step 4 Seedlings fall asleep with loose peat soil or well-rotted compost. Trample or compact the earth at the roots, water if necessary. When frost occurs, mulch with soil.

Note! Pits for spring planting of prepared seedlings are best laid in the fall, in October. The soil in them will settle down over the winter, nourish moisture, and you will greatly facilitate spring work.

Watering and feeding

In dry autumn, the soil dries up, trees and shrubs become sensitive to dry and frosty weather. Therefore, in the absence of autumn rains, it is necessary to water all fruit trees well and saturate the soil under them with moisture.

For abundant fruiting for the next season, trees in October must be fed. Organic and mineral fertilizers are applied for digging or loosening the trunk circle closer to the edge - the maximum number of suction roots is concentrated there.

Table 2. Fertilizer application rates for fruit trees.

Tree age, years	Manure, kg	Ammonium nitrate, g	Superphosphate, g	Potassium chloride, g
1-2	12-15	50	100	30
3-4	20-25	75	150	60
5-6	30-40	100	220	70
7-8	40-50	150	300	100
9-10	50-60	200	400	130

Note! In the first two years after planting, top dressing should be applied with care, closing it not too deep so as not to damage or burn the roots.

After digging, loosening and fertilizing, the trunk circles are mulched with fallen leaves, straw, peat-humus mixture - this will protect the roots from freezing and drying out.

tree pruning

In early October, it's time for shaping and rejuvenating pruning of fruit trees - sap flow is already suspended, but there is time for wound healing.

Rules for pruning fruit trees:

• prune the apical shoot to limit growth;
• remove all lower branches at the forks;
• tops and shoots are cut out from the trunk and root;
• remove thickening and crossing branches;
• remove branches that “look” towards the trunk or down.

After pruning fruit trees, the cut points are treated with hydrogen peroxide and covered with garden pitch.

Rules for pruning berry bushes:

• cut diseased, damaged or twisted branches at ground level;
• cut out old and thickening branches;
• shorten healthy shoots to the level of strong buds, forming a crown.

Fruit trees at the end of October, after the leaves fall, are treated with a solution of urea to kill pests that have gone into hibernation. Dilute 500-700 g of urea in a bucket of warm water and spray the tree trunk, trunk and branches, paying special attention to the tips of the branches with buds - other pests winter there.

Spraying is carried out in dry calm weather at a positive temperature. It is important to perform this operation after most of the leaves have fallen - this indicates that the tree has gone dormant. Otherwise, there is a risk of burning the branches and weakening the tree.

Perennial flower care

Flower beds and flower beds also need autumn care.

Step 1. In early October, bulbous spring flowers continue to be planted - tulips, lilies of the valley, crocuses, hyacinths. Planted bulbs, as well as earlier plantings of bulbous plants, are mulched with a mixture of peat and compost with a layer of 5 cm to protect against frost.

Step 2 In early or mid-October, gladiolus bulbs, rhizomes of dahlias and begonias are dug up. It is better to do this on a sunny day at a positive temperature. Rhizomes and bulbs are immediately washed, disinfected, dried and sorted, and then stored for storage.

Step 3 They collect seeds of annuals - marigolds, calendula, nasturtiums, zinnias and asters, amaranth. They are dried in a dark place, scattered on a newspaper, then robbed and laid out in bags or sown before winter.
