Understanding the Cycle of Nature: Gardening is the Way

Whatever dies in the wild is not actually dead. It is used as a fuel that gives birth to another life. Yesterday in my garden I couldn’t help noticing that my recently grown red mini radish is almost ready for harvest. By the way, this early, crispy, juicy type of radish needs about 28 days to mature. Time goes by faster sometimes. This made me think about how gardening is extremely suitable for understanding the cycle of nature.    

Gardening Goes Along with the Cycle of Nature

Nature Runs like a Swiss Watch

Have you noticed that nature runs like a Swiss clock that needs no winding? Nature events seem to follow an invisible, primordial scheme. Everything is familiar. No explanations are necessary. Nature is a living organism where nothing goes to waste. Plants and animals, the entire flora and fauna on Earth live in astonishing harmony. It’s the harmony of circles.

Advantages of the Moon Cycle Gardening

Speaking of nature cycles, I have something really exciting to share with you – it’s called gardening by the moon. Yes, your eyesight is ok, I really wrote that. Moon cycle gardening means that what goes on in your garden is very much influenced by the moon activities.

Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that you should sneak out to your garden in the middle of the night carrying your shovel like some crazy lunatic and start planting. It means that the moon has four quarters. Each moon quarter lasts for 7 days. And the best part is - the moon’s gravity influences on the moisture in plants and soil. How about that!

It means that lunar gravity pulls water up hence encouraging seeds to sprout and grow faster. What comes next is that your seeds germinate sooner; plants produce higher yields, and have fewer pests. Eventually, you save your time & money.
