Saturday 28th December
The Moon enters the constellation of Scorpio, making it an ideal day for tending to leafy plants in the garden. Hardy salads can be grown year-round in greenhouses if carefully sown and transplanted in succession. In the garden, it’s a good time to consider trimming hedges as the Moon is in Scorpio. Biodynamic farmers and gardeners may also consider applying biodynamic preparation 500, which helps rejuvenate and build soil structure. This is a great time of year for such preparations, in anticipation of spring, when the intensity of growth increases and the nourishment of the soil becomes paramount. Biodynamic gardeners often consider themselves as growers of soil, as this living membrane is at the heart of biodynamic practice.
