Lunar Sowing Calendar for May 2019

Each month of the year has its days favorable for agrarian affairs and not recommended for working on the earth.

On the schedule of works of the gardener-gardener for May, 2019, with tips of the lunar calendar and the nuances of its use, in detail - in the article.

The influence of the moon phase on planting

As the moon approaches or moves away from Earth, its gravitational field affects the biosphere of our planet. The rhythms or phases of the satellite affect factors such as:

• ebbs and flows;
• air pressure;
• wind speed and direction;
• temperature change.

Influencing the level of water on Earth, the Moon also influences the development of plants.. Depending on the distance at which the star is located from the Earth, it contributes to the growth of land or underground parts of grasses and trees, rooting of seedlings, growth of crops, etc. Knowing about this, allows farmers to select favorable days for those or other work in the gardens and gardens.

Did you know? The dust of Eugene Shoemaker, a famous American planetary scientist and founder of astrogeology, according to his will, was scattered over the lunar surface.

Decreasing or, as they say, the flawed moon has a beneficial effect on the root system of the flora. These days, fertilizers "under the root" will bring maximum benefit and yield, the same applies to soil irrigation. Since the terrestrial part of horticultural crops is inactive during this period, pruning or tenching can be done: cuts will heal faster.

This is a good time for prophylactic treatments with spraying. Foliage, being exposed to the protective action of the drug, however, does not accumulate its toxic components. The beneficial effect on the roots is used for planting crops whose crop develops under the surface of the soil (potatoes, beets, turnips). Days of the waning moon in May: 1st-4th and 20th-31st.

New Moon and Full Moon - those phases of the heavenly body, when any work on earth can have a negative impact on the future harvest. Crops may not grow at all or be weak. Watering, feeding or pruning will also be useless, moreover, the risk of disease or crop death is likely. The only thing that our ancestors were engaged in in the full moon and herbalists continue to do now is harvesting medicinal flowers and roots. New Moon in May - the fifth, the full moon - the nineteenth.

Growing Moon activates the forces of the terrestrial parts of plants. At this time, you need to sow and plant everything that develops above the ground surface. This is a favorable time for transplantation and reproduction, irrigation and fertilizing on the leaf. Successful will be the vaccination procedure in the garden. In May, the light grows from 6 to 18 days of the month.

Lunar calendar of the gardener and gardener for May, 2019

May is one of the busiest months in the calendar is the agrarian. The weather is not yet stable, there is a risk of return frost, which means you need to protect your beds.

For low seedlings, mini-greenhouses from plastic bottles will be an ideal option - simple, affordable, and with ventilation (if you remove the lid). Tall plants need to construct a mobile temporary greenhouse from a wooden frame with film.

The edges of the film can be pressed with bricks so that wind gusts do not destroy the shelter

In large areas, as a thermal protection, use the method of smoke:

1. At regular intervals, heaps of dry twigs, straw, and foliage are placed throughout the crops.
2. These mounds cover 3-5 cm with a layer of earth.
3. On the leeward side in the heaps a stick is made a small hole and set on fire.
4. Organic filling of the mound will slowly fester, warming the surface of the soil, retaining heat.

The first days of the month - the time of sowing of cold-resistant crops (onions, carrots, radishes) in open ground. Among them are annual flowers, such as mattiola, delphinium, hedetium. Also, seedlings (tomato, pepper) are planted in the open ground, rooted saplings of fruit trees and shrubs are transplanted to a permanent place. (The list of plants for planting and sowing is lower in the text.)

Important! AT hot days with active sun, it is advisable to priteen the newly-planted seedlings, otherwise it will get burns.

Spring is the time of the awakening of the pests. Among them are insects that damage the ground part, there are soil parasites that destroy tubers, bulbs and the root system of crops. For each type of insect there is a mass of drugs that are used as prophylactic and killing agents. Among the safe methods of preventing the emergence of insects - planting plants that have a sharp, frightening smell for pests. These are:

• sagebrush;
• tansy;
• Tagetis (marigolds);
• caraway;
• garlic.

From these plants prepare infusions and decoctions, which are sprayed planting in case of defeat by harmful insects.

The beginning of the month is a fruitful time for vaccinations of late varieties of fruit trees and shrubs.. This time period is ideal for dividing and transplanting perennial flowers: rudbeckia, aster. At this time you need to attract pollinators. To do this, either allocate a place, or sow in the between rows of plants, honey plants. Phaselia, for example, can be sown year-round. And such a melliferous plant as clover blooms twice - in June and August, which will attract pollinators to late-flowering crops.

We advise you to read about the varieties of grafting of fruit trees and techniques for their implementation.

May is not always abundant in precipitation, and the moisture from the melt water is already running out. Most of all, early vegetables like radishes need moisture. If you do not conduct moderate daily watering at the stage of development of the vegetable crop, then the root crop will be dry and tough. Mandatory watering for garlic, planted in the winter. It has a deep root system, which lacks surface moisture.

Spraying of cabbage will not prevent, its leaves will be juicy and saturated with vitamins. Moisturizing and other care procedures are needed in the garden. Berry shrubs are usually watered, combining moisture with top dressing. For many vegetable and garden plants spend nitrogen supplements that stimulate the growth of foliage.

And in the garden, and in the garden, and in the flower garden after watering, loosening is carried out in order to prevent the formation of a dense, airborne crust on the soil surface. At the beginning of the month, loosening is carried out more often in order to speed up and facilitate the emergence of crop sprouts. After loosening, many people use mulch, whose beneficial effect has been proven by many experienced farmers and flower growers. Any organic material will save time on crop care. Optimally create a mulch layer of:

• sawdust;
• wood shavings;
• straw;
• peat

Mulch inhibits the growth of weeds, retains moisture and heat, and also protects the root system from overheating.

As mentioned above, any work with a plant — with its foliage or root system — can have a negative effect on the development of a crop if it is conducted on an unfavorable day. The table below shows the day of the month, recommended for a particular type of work.

Navigation in the lunar calendar gardener and gardener

Without experience, to understand all the intricacies of applying the lunar calendar is not easy. The one who follows him strictly takes into account several factors influencing the moon on plants:

• the quarter or phase in which the luminary resides on a certain day;
• Zodiac sign;
• the proximity of the date to the new moon and full moon.

The influence of the phases is described in detail at the beginning of the article, as regards the signs of the zodiac: they are divided into fertile and infertile.

For example:

• Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Capricorn - are considered prolific signs;
• Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Aquarius are barren signs;
• Scales - moderately prolific.

This means that while the moon is in the house of a fertile mark, planting, seeding and transplanting plants will be especially successful. In other periods it is better to do other work in the garden or on the garden.

Did you know? One day on the moon will be equal to almost 30 earth days. During this time, the sun crosses the lunar sky.

On days of the full and newborn moon, it is not recommended to carry out sowing, planting and transplantation. Experienced farmers to these dates add the day before and after the event, because the decline of biorhythms of flora occurs "not suddenly", but gradually. But there is an exception to the rule: it is customary to plant climbing crops and also medicinal herbs the day before the full moon.

In general, using the calendar is not difficult: in tables with the maximum amount of information, different color gamut of symbols is usually used. For example, the days of a strictly prohibited sowing or other event can be marked in red, and the best day for this activity can be green.

Thus, it is not difficult to calculate the most appropriate days to achieve the best quality of the harvest. It is more useful, using the calendar, to keep your own diary of observations, gaining experience. At the same time, we must not forget that a lot depends on the attention of the grower to his responsibilities for the care of a flower bed, garden or vegetable garden.
