Planting by the Moon - Ep. 270

As I record this, tonight will be a full moon. In fact, it’s the Harvest Supermoon here in the northern hemisphere. And it’s very possible that your online gardening group is absolutely abuzz with advice that tomatoes grow better if you plant them in the days leading up to the full moon and your beets grow more voluptuous if you plant them after the full moon.

But does gardening by the moon actually change anything in your garden? I have been asked about gardening by the moon’s phases so many times, so today on Just Grow Something we’re digging into the science—why we think the lunar cycle can affect our garden, what’s been tested, and what hasn’t. And at the end you can decide whether you want to modify your planting calendar next season to include the phases of the moon. Let’s dig in!
