Synopsis

You won't have to get up in the middle of the night to sow your carrots! Country folk - and repeat buyers of this book, which has been published annually for over thirty years - know that planning their work in harmony with the rhythms of the moon produces better crops. It's that easy. They get higher yields and better flavour in vegetables. Flowers produce stronger displays and heightened colour. This gardening guide computes everything you need to know about the daily influence of the moon and the planets. With its full 15-month daily calendar, it creates an essential timetable for the year ahead and is also a fine means of self-discipline for keen gardeners.

Book Overview: Now a Top 5000 title - sales grow again year-on-year. With this book, we re-learn that the rhythms of the moon affect both crops and livestock. The gardeners at RHS Wisley have proved the benefits of the lunar effect under controlled research conditions. Increased yields of 20-30% are routinely touted. Sales grow as gardeners re-purchase - because it's true and works.
