Thursday 28th November
The moon deepens in the constellation of Virgo, bringing a grounding influence into the day. Embrace the garden; it’s an excellent time to dig over vegetable beds in preparation for winter. Most weeds can be composted, especially nutrient-rich ones like comfrey and stinging nettles, which invigorate the compost pile when added fresh to its centre. However, more persistent weeds should be kept out of the compost. Ideally, these are burned, and the ashes are then spread over the soil to help suppress their presence in the future.
