Think you've heard every gardening trick under the sun? Think again. There's one you're almost certainly overlooking, and for this one, you'll want to turn to the moon.
When we think of the weather patterns needed to cultivate a healthy garden, we think of the perfect balance of sunshine and rain. What we don't consider, however, is how the mysteries of the night impact our plants. Planting by the moon is an organic gardening practice that encourages gardening in harmony with the lunar phases to optimize plant growth. While it might sound a bit woo-woo, we all know the moon's gravitational pull has a big influence over the likes of tide patterns, so incorporating its patterns into our gardening regime makes more sense than you might think.
