How Moon Phases Affect Plants

The lunar calendar is a simple statement of the phases of the moon during a month. There are 4 phases in total: the growing moon, the full moon, the waning moon and the new moon. The movement of water on Earth depends on how close the moon is to the Earth. Plants are more than 80% water, so the moon acts on them in the same way as it does on water. At high tide during the full moon, the ground is maximally saturated with moisture, and this has a beneficial effect on the growth of vegetation. In the descending phase, the moisture leaves, the juices descend to the roots and have a beneficial effect on the development of the root system.
