ertilising, while results will poor during any of the 6 days leading up to =
a new moon. This is not some sort of cosmic hippy theory the moon governs t=
he movement of water (think of tides). The plant is 94% water. Further, a f=
ull moon supplies the plant with an extra period of light. When a full moon=
is reflecting the suns rays back earth, the photosynthetic processes of pl=
ants will continue to operate. Fluid movement in the plant more vigorous un=
der full moon influence and foliar nutrients are more efficiently transloca=
ted. Compare the sap flow by pruning on a full moon compared to a new moon.=
