Moon Planting Experiment

August 29, 2008 in Garden by Ben

O.K. World,Ready or Not,Here I Come.Having a Degree in Applied Science, you can understand

that I am quite interested in experimenting with different ideas and seeing what results they yield.

After reading What to plant in September on Aussie Organic Gardening I’ve decided to experiment with Moon Gardening.

Hypothesis: To test if Dwarf Beans planted in the Last Quarter phase perform any differently to those planted in the New Moon phase.

Moon Planting sounds a little like mumbo jumbo, but I’m willing to start to work by it for a while to see if I get any better results. If anything, the cyclic nature of it will keep me on my toes and planting new things regularly.

For some further info, check out Traditional Moon Planting.

    This looks like a very interesting experiment and I’m keen to see the results! My parents are old school gardeners and swear by moon planting. Can’t wait for more updates.
