Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I have use the moon plases to guide my planting times and have found this quite useful.
Can you give us a view of your experiences.

Have heard of this.

Never tried it, but am open to the concept.

Ask any nurse who works in an aged care facility. Patients are heap more..........restless (tame word).........during certain phases of the moon.

Steve

well you could broaden the question and ask any female.
Do you think I should post one?

possibly not!

You know that a long time ago (in a galaxy far far away. LOL ) i would haved rubbished the idea, being far to "scientific" to comprehend it..........

C1, the GF just nudged me and asked me to explain it to her........can you give us all a run down.........

Steve

well there is a lot to it.thought it starts like when the moon is getting smaller there is less influence (Waning) and has an influence on root developement went the moon is getting bigger (waxing) the influence is on growth an stem/leave developement. then there are other times best suited to weeding/sowing.Root crops/seed producing planting etc etc...
Best I upload the link.

Steve I did wonder if you had tongue in cheek at the time.
Though you will see the new post.

C1, about the GF or about explaining it.

Neither

I am aware of the concept but it sounded like you had much more in depth knowledge. It would have been as easy for me to google it, but for the sake of sharing info here you sound like the man (assumtion, you have no gender listed ) for the job

Very informative post, thanks!

Steve

Cool Steve,
Kind of make sence that there is a bigger picture.
All creatures feed and breed by the moon and it seems plants too.
I will create a word doc that outlines the basics which will probably
get people to read in more depth.

no worries! just upload it to the file section.

I've said it before and i'll say it again.

Mans greatest weakness throughout time is that we give our intelect too much credit, we always think that we "know it all". dark ages to present day, nothing has changed, when mankind looks back in 400 years we will look like medieval doctors. But we can't temper our pride enough to realise it and keep an open mind about things.

Thats my rant for the day

Steve

Good job for upload.Good reference for crew.
Tis my philosophy indeed.RE open mind ever evolving.

Seems lot are looking but no responses.
anything would be good.
Let me know what you have heard about planting etc

My GF came across this on the web today. Can't vouch for its accuracy though.


Have i mentioned that a friend works as a RN-div1 (nurse) in a aged care facility and there is no question about the "differences" in the residents behaviour during a full moon.............

Thought it was intereting

Steve

Yes steve I recall..
If the outlaw was a patient they be talking about her.

Did anyone have a look at the moon last night.
Closest we have been all year.
telescope went off,
got to get a lense camera.
And take a few shots.
