Summary: Partial success in 'moon' gardening
Comment: I found the whole subject fascinating with some success and some failures. My sweet peas were magnificent with really long stems and a very long flowering season (Jun - Sep) and runner beans equally as good and very prolific. Unfortunately the carrot root fly had not read the book and despite sowing 2 packets of french beans nothing came up at all. I suppose it's a case of 'you win some, you lose some'
I shall certainly use the system this year and at present my toilet roll middles are filled and in the propagator waiting for the right day to sow

Summary: Gardening by the moon
Comment: Whilst I found this book interesting I would have preferred more charts and diagrams to enable me to easily see what I should be doing when. Nick seems to totally miss out on the fact that there is more to moon growing than just the waxing and waining of the moon, for example, whether the moon is ascending or descending can make a considerable difference in the growth of certain crops.

Summary: Cheap, easy and revolutionary
Comment: I was introduced to this by a man that tiled our kitchen floor. We all know the influence of the sun, but did you know that the moon is just as powerful? There is a hefty explanation, that gets rather technical at times, but basically plants are divided into four categories. Flower, root, leaf and fruit. The lunar calendar guides you to the most auspicious days for sowing, tending and harvesting. The whole concept is fantastic and cheaper than a carton of tomato ripe.

Summary: A serious and very informative book on the moon's influence.
Comment: I have a serious interest in the Moon's behaviour. Thus, catastrophic events take place at the First and Last Quarters of the Moon's orbit. The Californian earthquakes of 1st October 1987 and the 19th January 1984, each followed two weeks later by the Great British Hurricane on the 15th October 1987 and the Irish Sea Hurricane on the 3rd February 1984. These events are separated by the long lunar cycle of 6 solar years and 111 days.
Saturn is the planetary twin of the Earth, being captured by the Sun at the same time. This is why their perihelions are very similar.
The author presents many other behavioural patterns of the Moon which are of interest to those who research lunar phenomena.
That said, in applying this knowledge to the growing of plants the author has shouldered a very difficult task and has succeeded in giving us an annual diary that is most invaluable.
I heartily recommend this book.
