The lunar planting calendar was created by people thousands of years ago. The changing phases of the celestial body clearly showed the passage of time. The cyclical nature of the event and the knowledge that the Moon has a (gravitational and magnetic) influence on the surface of the Earth and all living things made it possible to think about the dependence of the harvest on lunar days- this is how the planting calendar appeared vegetable crops, with the help of which the planting and sowing season was organized, on which, in turn, the survival of people in those days depended.

During the planting period, the potatoes will end up in dry soil, which will also reduce their potential yield.

Planting legumes on the ground garden plants, including legumes. It's time to start planting seedlings of fruit drupes. We sow flower beds and flower beds

In the early days, it is quite possible to start sowing flower seeds, as well as cabbage for seedlings, focusing on the grower’s lunar calendar for April. At the same time, it is recommended to lay out the potatoes set aside for planting for vernalization (adaptation of root crops to cool temperatures).

To ensure that the seedlings do not stretch and are more prepared for open ground conditions, you should monitor the lighting of the room in which they are located. Lack of light leads to fragility of the processes. To do this, place all the seedlings on the southeast side. If in your apartment all the windows face the north side and there is no sun, then it is necessary to additionally illuminate the seedlings early in the morning and in the evening. Using fluorescent lamps to illuminate seedlings is extremely impractical in cramped conditions. There are powerful LEDs designed specifically for plants.

How to use a lunar planting calendar for a gardener for April

As many years of practice show, optimal time planting occurs when the soil warms up at a depth of 10-12 cm to +7..+8 °C, when frosts have already passed (they are the most destructive for the crop). Such time can be determined in several ways - analytical and folk:

On this day we do everything that does not affect the plants, that is, we aerate the soil, water, and mulch. This is a good time to kill pests. You can do sharpening gardening tools or even relax in nature

First of all, spring is a lot earthworks, therefore, if you have auxiliary equipment, even an ordinary cultivator, do not neglect it, because every lost day will then result in losses in the harvest. It is in April that the last snow melts in the lowlands and in the shaded areas of the plot. But don’t rush to start digging right away; first, just loosen it slightly with a rake or a special fork; the gardener’s lunar calendar for April will tell you the right day. If you start turning over layers of soil that are oversaturated with moisture, big clods, which will subsequently be very difficult to split.	In order for tomato seeds to germinate better, they need to be soaked for a day in a saturated solution of potassium permanganate. After this, they should be transferred to a cloth dampened warm water, also cover with a damp cloth on top. When the seeds swell and a germ of growth appears, you need to place them on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator overnight for three days, leaving them at room temperature during the day.	13, 14, 27

Plant tall tomatoes first; low-growing tomatoes can be planted as seedlings at the end of March directly in a polycarbonate greenhouse.	late - after 110 or more days.	You can view the weather forecast for the coming period from several sources.
23	Growing	On those days when the earth is literally swollen with water, absorbing it like a sponge, you shouldn’t even walk around the site again, so as not to compact the soil. But it is also undesirable to miss the moment, otherwise the soil will dry out and crumble almost like sand; there will be a lot of dust in such soil, but little fertility. The time for loosening comes when the lump of soil is not crushed in the hand, but crumbles into small moistened pieces. Without a sowing calendar, April can bring many surprises, and it’s worth paying attention to signs. Particular care should be taken when loosening near perennial plants during the waning Moon; at this time the roots are very sensitive to damage.

Many summer residents and owners of small household plots grow potatoes on their plots. This crop is considered second bread in Russia and Ukraine, because we eat dishes from this vegetable almost every day. Gardeners have long noticed that using high-quality seed material And proper care looking after plants is not enough to get a good harvest. In addition to the main agrotechnical techniques The yield of root crops will depend on weather conditions and the correct choice of date for sowing tubers. Scientists have long noticed that the yield of the crop in question is also influenced by favorable days for planting potatoes in 2018. The opinion of astrologers is confirmed by the influence of the moon on earthly garden crops.

Many people know that our planet’s satellite, the moon, regulates the ebb and flow of the ocean. This celestial object also influences growth energy various plants. If you coincide with favorable rhythms for planting, you can get a good harvest of vegetables or abundant formation of inflorescences in flowers.

Most gardener questions can be answered in the lunar calendar. Thus, days in the full moon and new moon phases are considered unfavorable for sowing any garden crops. The waxing moon promotes the development of plants in which the harvest is formed in the upper part (tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers and others). When the moon is falling, it is recommended to sow root crops, such as potatoes, beets or carrots.

The passage of the moon in different zodiac signs has different effects:

Aquarius is considered an unfavorable sign for soaking seeds and sowing. Although the plants will sprout, they will turn out to be weak and lifeless, unable to form a good harvest.
The Aries sign is also considered unproductive. During this period, it is advisable to loosen the rows and destroy weeds by spraying the crops with herbicides. On Aries days, it is recommended to plant lettuce and spinach.
The passage of the moon in the constellation Taurus has a beneficial effect on the planting of all root crops, including potatoes. Good education buds can be achieved by planting flowering plants during this period.
Gemini favors planting climbing crops, including strawberries. It is better not to plant other plants during the passage of the moon in this constellation.
Cancer is considered a particularly productive sign for sowing pumpkins, melons and early varieties potatoes. It should be noted that the harvest of plants planted under the specified zodiac is unsuitable for long-term storage.

The best days of the lunar calendar for planting potatoes in 2018

When planning to plant potatoes in 2018, you need to take into account not only favorable days according to the lunar calendar, but also climatic features specific region, vegetable planting scheme. Many good days for carrying out such procedures fall in the month of March, but only residents of the southern regions of our country can take advantage of such dates. For Siberian gardeners, it is advisable to plant root crops in May. Let's take a closer look at favorable timing.

March

Planting in March involves growing a vegetable for subsequent sale on the market. Residents of the Krasnodar region and southern regions of Ukraine receive two potato harvests. Planting in March can be carried out from the 20th to the 26th

April

May

Residents of central Russia and Siberia plant potatoes when the soil is sufficiently warmed and stable warm weather sets in. It is best to start such procedures from mid-May. Favorable period In 2018, the 16th and 17th of the month are considered.

Planting methods

Gardeners know many ways to plant potato tubers. Let's take a look at the most popular of them:

Smooth landing or “under the shovel” is considered one of the most common methods. For its implementation in the soil when wrinkled garden tools dig holes to a depth of 25 centimeters and add organic matter there. 50 centimeters are left between the ridges for easy maintenance; the soil in the holes is wrapped with a rake. The method is not suitable for clay soils, is not particularly productive, but is characterized by ease of planting care.
Planting potatoes according to Mittleider is applicable to any soil. The main advantages of the method are the minimum time spent on site preparation, good yield, shortening the growing season of the crop. The main disadvantage of planting root crops according to Mittleider is the need to add mulch and regularly remove weeds. Planting holes are made every 40 centimeters, keeping the row spacing within 1 meter. Immediately after sowing, the soil is sprinkled with a layer of straw mulch. The main care of the crop is to remove weeds ( manually or using herbicides) and timely watering.
The Chinese method of planting potatoes is applicable to any soil. Makes it possible to get maximum yield while saving space in the garden. The method is not applicable in northern regions our country, requires high-quality and timely care of crops. The soil for the development of culture must be prepared in advance. Dig a hole measuring 1 x 1 meter, add chopped grass, organic matter, food waste, and several glasses of wood ash to the soil. With the arrival of spring, the tubers are sprouted in the light until their sprouts reach a size of 10 centimeters. Planting material laid in holes and covered with a nutrient substrate based on ordinary garden soil, sand, humus and wood ash. During the growing season, it is necessary to constantly add soil and feed the plants with fertilizers.
Using the square nesting method allows the bush to obtain the maximum area for nutrition. Using this method makes it possible to obtain good harvests root crops without the necessary hilling. The disadvantages of this method are the need for constant weeding and watering of plants. When planting, the bed is divided into squares with a side size of 80 centimeters. In each corner, dig holes with dimensions of 40*40 centimeters and plant several tubers there, which are sprinkled with humus. Organic matter is added several times as the bush grows.
The method of planting in bags or barrels saves usable space, protects the plant from pest attacks, and allows the gardener to get an early harvest of vegetables. During planting, a thick drainage layer of 20-30 centimeters is poured onto the bottom of the container, then 30 centimeters of nutrient substrate. As the vegetative mass develops, the powder is repeated.

Care after landing

The main measures for caring for potatoes after emergence include periodic watering, timely hilling, applying fertilizers and protecting plants from diseases and pests. The amount of soil moisture is regulated by the weather. In humid summers, no more than three waterings per season are necessary. The first time this is done two weeks after germination, then during flowering. The last watering of plants is carried out on dried soil during the period of fruit formation. The next day after moistening, you need to loosen the soil, which will facilitate the penetration of oxygen to the root system of the crop.

Another important step in caring for potatoes is inter-row cultivation or hilling. This procedure is carried out using a hoe, a manual hiller or small-scale mechanization. Hilling removes weeds, allows moisture to accumulate in the soil, and also protects the crop from return spring frosts. The first loosening is carried out a few days after the emergence of seedlings, then during the flowering period, as well as after rain or watering.

Potatoes are fed until three times during the growing season. The first time this is done on the developing tops, watering the crop with a solution of urea (5 grams of the substance per bucket of water). During moistening, no more than 500 milliliters of liquid are consumed per bush. The following fertilizing is applied to the soil during flowering. To prepare the solution in a bucket warm water dissolve 15 grams of potassium sulfate and 5 grams of sifted wood ash. The last feeding is done at the final flowering vase (200 grams of mullein per 10 liters of water).

The main potato pest is considered Colorado beetle. A variety of things will help you get rid of it chemicals, for example, the drug karate, tyrant or prestige. To obtain environmentally clean products Potato bushes can be dusted with wood ash or sprayed with infusion onion peel, (500 grams per 10 liters of water). Husks can also be added to planting holes or used for mulching between rows, mixed with straw.

Onion infusion helps prevent the development of the popular late blight disease. 200 grams of cloves of this vegetable are crushed, 1 liter of water is added and infused for 2 days. After this, the infusion is filtered, diluted in a bucket of water and sprayed on the plantings. To completely get rid of the disease, 2-3 such treatments are enough.

Summer residents are familiar with the definition of favorable days for planting crops on the site. Some gardeners carry out all actions related to caring for their garden strictly in accordance with the location of the moon. It doesn't matter whether they grow carrots or onions. Should we trust the lunar calendar when growing potatoes? Let’s try to figure it out in the article.

The yield of a crop largely depends from climatic and weather conditions, soil quality, seedlings, soil care and fertilizers, as well as many other factors.

The priority should be weather conditions, not the state of the moon

Among these factors is the location of the moon. However, if you take into account such a calendar, then there are few favorable days.

When to plant in May

In almost all regions, except the southern one, potatoes are planted in May. The soil is already sufficiently warmed up, and warm days allow you to calmly plant the crop without the risk of freezing.

However, in May there are not many favorable days, based on the lunar calendar, on which you can plant potatoes:

In the first decade	May 4, 7, 8, 9
In the second decade	the luckiest day is May 19
In the third decade	two days 24 and 31 May

If you follow the recommendations of astrologers, you need to pre-plan the landing day and prepare the material. To do this, it should be removed from the cellar or storage place in advance, dried, and given time to warm up in the air.

When the tubers sprout, you can start planting. By following all the rules, you can significantly increase productivity.

When can you sow seeds?

Potato seeds can be purchased in specialized stores or collected from your garden in the fall.

Purchased seeds are much easier to obtain than to collect yourself

In the still green potato fruits, which resemble green berries, there are seeds. These seeds are suitable for biological propagation of potatoes.

If you sow seeds in a container, seedlings will appear within a week. It is necessary to prepare seedlings for transplanting into soil for further cultivation.

You need to plant seedlings in the garden at a time when the weather outside has stabilized and the air temperature remains around 15 degrees. Best time planting seedlings from seeds in open ground at the end of May.

If you rely on the lunar calendar, you should select the dates those in the waning moon.

Planting dates in different climate zones

Ural gardeners should take into account that the further north their city is on the map, the later the soil warms up. We need to make sure that the night frosts end. Since Siberia is quite large, each area has its own time for potatoes.

In most places it will not be possible to sow until mid-May. In Irkutsk, it is recommended to plant the plant after May 20. In the conditions of Karelia, planting mid-late and late varieties not advisable.

In central Russia best time to plant potatoes 6, 7, 8, 9, 26, 27, 28 May. In the South, it is good to plant early ripening varieties in April. In the southern regions you can harvest twice per season.

The beginning of April is suitable for planting mid-season varieties in the south.

Generally accepted planting dates for potatoes

Most people, according to established tradition, plant potatoes in early May. But generally accepted standards are not suitable for every region.

Plant potato need to into warm soil, if planted earlier, the fruit will grow poorly or even freeze. It is also impossible to delay planting potatoes. The soil may dry out and this will also affect the yield.

According to statistics, the deviation from the deadlines should not be more than 10 days in one direction or another.

Unheated soil will negatively affect the success of planting

The influence of the moon on productivity

Not everyone follows the recommendations to garden in phases. Therefore, some people get better harvests, while others get worse. Although it could be neighbors. The lunar location has a direct effect on all living beings, as well as on all plants.

Based on this, it is possible provide for the lunar factor before the dacha work. Turning to the lunar calendar is a non-standard approach to obtaining a rich and high-quality harvest.

Planting potatoes according to the lunar calendar

Among experienced gardeners There has always been the concept of a “favorable day for planting.” The influence of the moon on planet Earth is primarily taken into account. The condition of all living organisms on the planet depends on these influences.

The lunar calendar for sowing is based on certain long-studied patterns. Namely - effects of phases on growth plant crops.

The basic rule of the calendar is to pay attention to the aging and waxing moon. If it is decreasing, then it is advisable to plant root crops that bear fruit deep in the ground.

It is not possible to scientifically prove the dependence of garden success on the lunar calendar

If there is a new moon or a waxing moon in the sky, it is recommended to plant terrestrial plants that grow on an open surface.

Such factors are explained by the fact that during the waning moon strengthens root system . But the bush itself is not developing very well. And the opposite happens in the mirror period - land plants develop and the growth of root systems is poor.

Potatoes are one of the crops that grow downwards. Therefore, the waning period is most suitable for planting and caring for the plant. Better days You should choose by carefully monitoring the calendar.

Why you shouldn't trust such calendars

The influence of the moon on life processes have long been proven, but you need to obey the requirements of this calendar only if this is confirmed by common sense.

If the calendar recommends planting potatoes in early May, but the weather suggests otherwise, then it is better to postpone planting. When the weather conditions match With " favorable days” according to the moon, then you can plan to plant the root crop on this very day.

What time to plant without a calendar

The most important thing when planting is compliance early dates seeding By meeting deadlines, the root system develops, which leads to a good harvest.

Potatoes are planted based on the following principles:

tubers begin to grow at a soil temperature of +5 at a depth of 10 cm;
When planting, it is very important to determine the exact time of sowing the crop. Sowing is calculated based on the variety: early ripening, mid-early, mid-ripening or late.
