In October, the pleasant chores of harvesting come to an end, but it is too early to close the summer season. It is necessary to prepare the empty area for winter, dig up and fertilize the vacated beds, check the heaps of compost, carry out general cleaning and sow some crops that will wait in the wings under the snow. The lunar planting calendar for October 2019 for gardeners and gardeners will indicate the best dates for each of the named actions.
Lunar sowing calendar for October-2019 for the gardener and the gardener
- Date: October 1st.
Lunar day: 3-4.
Phase: waxing moon.
Zodiac sign: Scorpio.
The day is favorable for most types of work on the site. Dig up the soil that has compacted during the summer, loosen it, apply fertilizer - with the exception of light sandy soils, for which these actions do not make much sense, since the nutrients will be washed out during the melting snow. Dig up and lay out potatoes to dry, pick eggplants, tomatoes, bell peppers, apples and pears. Carrots, cabbage and other late crops can be left in the beds for now, but it will not hurt to weed them, and at the same time spud leeks and stalked celery. Don't just trim.
- Date: October 2.
Lunar day: 4-5.
Phase: waxing moon.
Zodiac sign: Scorpio.
Plants assimilate nutrients well, so feeding and watering will be quite appropriate, as well as harvesting: now the fruits contain the maximum amount of vitamins. You can carry out water-charging watering of trees. Weeding, hilling, loosening, cultivation are allowed, and in the northern regions - where the temperature no longer rises above + 10 ° - you can start planting winter garlic and onions. Pruning is not recommended.
- Date: October 3rd.
Lunar day: 5-6.
Phase: waxing moon.
Zodiac sign: Sagittarius.
The tasks of today are the collection of fruits, medicinal herbs and seeds for future planting; a variety of work with the soil, from loosening to fertilizing; pest control. Inspect tree trunks for clutches of harmful insects, rake foliage and carrion, dig up the ground in tree trunks and near berry bushes with a pitchfork to get rid of the larvae wintering in it with the first frost.
- Date: October 4th.
Lunar day: 6-7.
Phase: waxing moon.
Zodiac sign: Sagittarius.
The recommendations of the previous days are preserved: focus your efforts on harvesting, controlling pests and diseases, preparing the beds for winter. To increase the fertility of the soil, plant legumes, excess greens and some herbs (nettles, tansy, calendula) in it, dig in, loosen. In the garden, you can prepare holes for planting new trees in winter or spring, but be careful with old plants: their root system becomes more vulnerable. For example, digging up near-trunk circles today requires special delicacy. Pruning is still not recommended.
