I aways plant onions on the wanning moon cycle :-)

  • When the moon is waxing, its energy is believed to cause water to rise in soil, which speeds seed germination.
  • During the second quarter, the moon's gravitational pull is less than at other times of the month, helping strong leaves to develop.
  • When the moon is waning, its gravitational force is very strong, and it causes more soil moisture. Energy is believed to be diverted to plant roots during this phase.

bro a tip,if you got any 1/2 hardware cloth around,make a pattern,that blue square tote i got,last year carrots were crappy,so this year i cut the hardware cloth the exact dimensions of the tote,layed that wire in there and every other hole planted a seed,shit like night and day and carrots really love it,nice even spacings and looks like a corn field,lmao they arent hogging each other and the carrots will come out straight ,dont know about your area ,but taters and all root crops can go in 29th and 30 th this month,get them in the ground it take them a month to pop dirt,ive cut mine off any water they are ready,and im just letting them die off and waiting a couple weeks were the skins will harden,,if your gonna store any,dont wipe off the dirt,store them with it on

@GT21, @oldskol4evr, @Ecompost, @Serenots, everyone can chime in
So im on well water here, its rains alot here, what your experience with it? I run mine threw a sediment filter 0ppm but i dont know what metals are in there
Get it tested...get a county water table test print out(sometimes on line).. But i dont worry much. Distill it.. Ph it and go. If you feel you can drink out of the tap or hose yourself...then the plants are good.
If it says 0 then theres nothin there.

im on a well too,find were your water storage comes from,i found mine come from a huge lake and all of it is limestone rock,but the well is 500ft and out of the well is a filter,have to change it about every month,lake is limestone base ,but sediment in on filter is red like iron,but i water with it anyway ,straight from hose to soil,it loves it and they all just got some,shit 2 gardens is double watering if you dig,my well holds 45 to 65% pressure on the tank,so mama waters hers first and blast break for me and then i water mine,if anyone goes to the head you loose pressure for a few minutes,i got that 275 gal tank im fixing to hook up to solve that shit,hell it hot out there and them damn kids goona mind lmao
