my following of lunar cycles is to find a method that "feels right"to you and follow it for a length of time, take notes, and make adjustment in the next cycle, whether it be one lunar cycle or the full thirteen. Make a relationship with lunar, for what works for You!

I'm giving planting by the moon a go this year too. It must work as pre-european Maori where great gardeners. I have been given a Maori moon planting calender which I am working with. Today is the best day to plant Kumera this month so I am off out to do this.

Dark moon tomorrow! I'll be sitting in the sunshine (thankyou solar inspiration) watching my little tackers play, maybe have a thought or two about what unveiled itself since last dark moon, maybe have a few plans in motion for the coming weeks, enjoying my space!

Hi I read this about the maori calendar 'Māori farmers planted kūmara (sweet potato) on the nights called Ōuenuku, Ari, Rākau-nui, Rākau-ma-tohi, Takirau and Ōrongonui, which were the 4th, 9th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 27th nights of the lunar month. No planting was done during full moon or on Korekore days (the 20th, 21st and 22nd nights). The planting months were in spring: September, October and November.' These methods would be tried and true for NZ conditions.

I had an idea that i would put a little moon symbol on my plant label if I've sown it in an appropriate moon phase .Then I can compare progress with those that aren't.
