Re: What's Growing In Your Garden? Horticultural Science
Interesting. I'd never heard of moon gardening.
A quick search produced little to know actual scientific information on this. The best I found was an experiment performed by a student for a science fair. The quoted text below is from the results section.
Quote:
The New Moon Cycle had the fastest seed germination for each Lunar Cycle experiment. The radishes planted on the New Moon Cycle-1st Lunar Cycle grew 0.9 centimeters higher on average than any other moon phase. The radishes planted on the New Moon Cycle-2nd Lunar Cycle grew 0.1 centimeters higher on average than any other moon phase. The Perigee Cycle appeared to have a small negative influence on
plant growth, while the Apogee Cycle indicated plant growth acceleration. The Descending Moon Cycle data indicated a negative influence on germination of seeds and on plant growth. The Ascending Moon Cycle indicated a small positive influence on both plant growth and seed germination. The Moon Nodes data showed no influence.
