Rediscovering ancient arts. How to garden in tune with the phases and signs of the Moon. An annual guide designed, written and produced by Varaly Thome using astrological calculations and a good brain.
"Ancient civilisations were more in tune with nature and the heavens than we are today. Then it was the norm to use the Moon's Waxing phase - when she is growing from the first slim crescent to Full - to plant and sow all kinds of seeds. The nightly passage of the Moon against the fixed stars would also be observed - usually by Priests specially trained in the Art - and it was known that when the Moon was among certain stars some crops did better than others.
"This ancient knowledge has been brought up to date for you by Astrologer and Organic Gardener Varaly Thome in this attractive A4 manual with laminated covers for durability. You do not need any special knowledge to use this book, it is very simply explained and all laid out beautifully with one full month to each page, with colour-coded symbols so you know exactly when to plant what.
"For those wishing to know more, the method is fully explained in the Advanced section, but should you choose not to read it, your understanding will in no way be impaired.
"Most of my business is by personal recommendation, customers almost always re-order, and order for friends who also become customers. Some have become my friends over the years........if you are one of those friends, reading this, welcome to the website, send me an email and tell me what you think!
"On the continent, it is the norm, rather than the exception, to plant and sow using this method, and you can buy an almanack in almost any newsagents. Should any of you have one of these in your possession, I would be pleased to see it."
WORD OF CAUTION: The Moon, unlike the Sun, does not trace the same path among the stars year after year. Their cycles are quite different, and it will be 18 years before the Moon repeats itself. So you do need to buy a new Moon Planter every year, which is good news for me!
