Best Lunar Planting Time for Maters?

kevinrs · March 16, 2011

Probably different people believe it's for different reasons, for me: 1. the brightness of the moon is a small fraction of the brightness of the sun. 2. the small gravitational pull is equally applied to the earth, so that the weight of objects doesn't change due to the lunar cycle. 3. zodiac signs mentioned? water sign good earth sign good, fire sign bad? I see that and ... well ...

I just go by temperature. I would like to find a cheap way to get some kind of logging thermometer setup, that I could put in my garden, and have a record of daily temps there over years. Last year the tomatoes didn't get frozen until well into november, screwed up my plans for a green manure crop completely, and roses around here never really went completely dormant.
