Taking into account the recommendations given by the lunar sowing calendar, it is easy to get an excellent harvest and achieve excellent germination of crops. Each phase of the night luminary favors a certain type of event in the garden.
The full moon and new moon are a good time to plant and care for plants with a lush top. Until the middle of the waxing moon phase, the tops of plants are actively developing. This lasts until the full moon. In the first half of the waning moon stage, any seedlings take root more easily, since the growth of the root part is active.

Boarding days for October 2016
Before frost
As a rule, the majority garden crops put away in bins before the first frost. So for beets you should choose dry weather. And after removing the root crops from the ground, you need to carefully trim the leaves so as not to damage the top.
Beets with an injured “crown” may lose some of their juice, become discolored and lose their taste. And it won’t be able to be stored for long.
Protecting young trees
Young trees in autumn need special attention. At the end of October, it is a good idea to tie their crowns so that the young branches do not break under the weight of snow in winter.
The trunks should be tied with spruce or pine spruce branches (needles down), or they can be wrapped in burlap. Don’t forget to cover the base of the harness with soil to a height of 10-15 cm so that mice and other rodents do not get to the trunk.
The beds overwinter
Into the soil narrow beds Fertilizers are not applied for the winter. The beds are thoroughly cleaned of post-harvest residues and dug up. It is better to do this closer to the cold weather, when pests overwintering in the soil will make themselves more comfortable there. So there is a higher probability that all these living creatures, turned to the surface, will die from frost.
If plant debris (stems and vines of vegetables, leaves of fruit trees) are healthy, they can be laid out in the garden in low piles with a diameter of 1.8 m and sprinkled with a small layer of compost or garden soil on top. Over the winter, the remains will rot, and in the spring you can plant pumpkins, zucchini or melons in these compost heaps.
Without a heart
In October, you can already cover the rows of plants in the strawberry beds with peat or humus. But the “hearts” of the bushes should remain free.
Rose processing
In autumn, ash is added under the rose bushes. This is done so that the shoots of plants that have received potassium become lignified. In this case, they will tolerate frost much easier.
Considering that the controversy black spot are present not only on the leaves, but also on the entire earth, it is useful to use ash as a remedy sanitization soil around rose bushes. It (two handfuls per bush) is usually applied in September or when the rose goes into retirement.
In the bins
In mid-October, late white cabbage and winter radishes should be put into storage. The best root vegetables and it is advisable to leave the heads of cabbage for seeds. In this case, they should be stored in the same cellar as other supplies, but in boxes with dry river sand.
It's time to harvest the cauliflower too. If the heads have not yet formed, you will have to dig up the plant with a lump of earth and transplant it into a heated greenhouse - maybe it will grow.
Half rotted
For autumn soil fertilization, it is advisable to use semi-rotted manure: it will almost ripen during the winter. On square meter A vegetable garden regularly enriched with fertilizers requires 3-4 kg of horse or 5-8 kg of cow goodness.
