  • Moon Planting  By : Helen Disler
    Moon planting also known as lunar planting has been in existence for many generations and is considered to be one of the oldest forms of gardening. It is believed that the moon position, the Zodiac signs, or both can bring great success in planting. It is once more fetching recognition as communities explore for substitutes to compound fertilizers and pesticides and their terrifying side effects. Execution of the suitable stage of the Moon for all facets of cultivation, planting and harvesting increases the quality as well as quantity of ones crops.

    It was observed that diverse plants do better when planted all through the diverse moon phases. Each of the phases influenced the mode by which vegetation developed on the earth through the falling and raising of humidity in both the plants and the earth. To supply supplementary precise records, it was eminent that some crops grew well when cultivated in a specific constellation of the moon. It takes the moon approximately three days to bypass a constellation and this led to the development of an advanced planting calendar.

    Planting was not perceived to be most significant to a farmer like the harvest season, which made the recording of the harvest time crucial. This was believed to be so since a harvest that was done at the correct time would last for a longer time. It was basically determined by the ability of the plants storage of water in the crops or fruits at the diverse times of the moon cycle. The Moon planting method encompasses three cycles, which include the Synodic, waning or waxing cycles. It simply divides the astral cycle into four quarters and requires 29.6 days to end the cycle. Plants are grouped into foliage, crops with external or internal seeds and root crops and then relocated to the stage of the moon that best suits their growing distinctiveness.

    The biodynamic cycle is a more comprehensive method that was applied to the 12 star or zodiac signs to site the moon for more precise planting. This technique was built up by Rudolf Steiner in the year 1924 using the Zodiac symbols to pinpoint the definite location of the signs as the moon passed through them in the skies. The sidereal cycle utilizes the moon's path around the planet earth to determine the best times to propagate and reap. The moon's orbit is alienated up into twelve equivalent thirty degree segments to symbolize the moon's location in the sky but may vary at times with the present moon position.

    Moon planting functions through the gravitational force it exerts in a process referred to as Gravitropism, which ensures plants roots grow downwards and the shoots grow upwards in the correct direction. For example, when a plant planted in a pot is toppled down, the plant continues growing upwards. This is due to gravity but not sunlight as many may think; if the reason for this was sunlight, seeds growing subversive would be growing in all kinds of directions. As plants grow, gravity forms the plant cells and also increases the rate of growth as soon as the gravity is abridged. But there is need to connect this with the moon's course to the earth and how it affects plant growth. Moon planting is a form of gardening that is worth giving a try.
  • What is Your Garden Costing You?  By : Joseph DeFilippo
    This article summarizes some ways to save money on your gardening.
  • Conventional Vs Organic Farming  By : Helen Disler
    Organic farming refers to the approach through which farmers cultivate and develop agricultural produce such as dairy products, vegetables, fruits, grains and meat. Organic farming is designed to promote water and soil preservation and lessen pollution and its effects on the environment. Farmers who cultivate organic products and rear animals do not utilize conventional techniques to prevent livestock disease, control weeds or even fertilize their soils. Organic farming refers to the process through which farmers grow their food, which is mainly done through the use of natural methods with no application of any synthetic methods.

    There are various ways in which conventional farming differs from organic farming. For conventional farming, the farmers apply synthetic chemical fertilizers to improve the growth of the plants while an organic farmer would simply apply ordinary fertilizer like animal waste or compost manure to add nutrients to the soil for the plants to utilize. The conventional methods of farming advocate for the use of insecticides and pesticides to control pests and diseases while the organic method prefers the advantageous utilization of birds and insects or even disrupting the pests mating season or trapping the pests.

    Conventional farming allows the use of chemical herbicides to control or eradicate weeds while organic farming recommends the rotation of crops, tilling, hand picking or mulching to control the weeds. Conventional farming techniques require animals to be given antibiotics and medicines to control disease as well as growth hormones to spur faster growth of animals. On the contrary, for organic farming, animals are given organic food. They also are given a chance to roam in the fields and the use of other preventative methods such as maintaining clean housing, a balanced diet and rotational grazing, which assist in minimizing diseases, are practiced.

    Organic foods are gaining popularity as many people try to avoid the risks that are associated with conventional foods. Many people are concerned about the risks the pesticides sprayed on the crops to control pests and diseases may hinder their own children's development. Studies have shown that organic foods reduce the risk of exposure of children to pesticides used in farming. Organic foods are also seen to be beneficial to not only the individual but also the environment as a whole. It helps by preventing pollution as well as preserving the ecosystem and the wildlife all together. Some farmers chosen organic foods because they believe they taste better, are fully flavored and juicy as opposed to the conventional foods, which only give a good psychological feeling when consumed.

    The dispute opposing the consumption of conventional foods is based on their deficiency in nutrients. Studies have proved that the organic foods contain a wide range of nutrients and in various varieties. A study on organic milk discovered that there are 67 percent more omega 3 and 6 nutrients, antioxidants and vitamins than in conventional milk. Organic foods are also not modified genetically and do not contain preservatives or other additives. Organic farming is considered the best option by many people.
