The Moon

[Scottie]

Who on here thinks that moon has an influence on the way things grow? I know it might seem a wierd question but my father in law swears by it when he is out picking mushrooms.

My dog has fits and has more when its a full moon .

[Joe Loggs]

I would of thought it does as after all the moon does reflect light.

[Ben Ballard]

I am openminded to this alway wondered if it has a effect on fungi growth and fruiting like people say with plants

[Daniël Bos]

My wife does her "woman-bloody-moanalot-menstuation-thingie" by the rythm of the full moon.

aren't you only supposed to plant some plants on a full moon of the third month at exactly half past 3...?

 

anyway, with wives tales like that there must be some truth in it somewhere

 

the moon's gravitational pull is big enough to effect tides and our weather systems so why not, plants, trees and fungi too:biggrin:

I remember going to the Netherlands and seeing vast areas grown using biodynamic techniques, so it certainly does...watch attenboroughs life on earth to see the effects of phases on animal and plant lifecycles.

Bound to innit; pulls water...

[p-hardy]

unsure if its just another wives tale but word has it some people turn in to werewolves when theirs a full moon?

 

on a more serious note i reckon its the whole solar system that effects it not just the moon
