Moon Chart March 2011

I cam across exactly what I was looking for on line to work out the best days for planting in our garden
during March 2011.  Here it is below

Gardening & Planting Guide by the Moon : March 2011 AEDT

The table below shows the Moon Phases and Garden activity for the month.

The image and information below have been taken from SolarFire Astro Tides Software Package by Esoteric Technologies.

In order to determine the most appropriate timing of your gardening tasks, the lunar phase and zodiac sign must be used. Each sign has a tendency to be better or worse for sowing new plants or crops, and are considered to be barren, semi-barren, semi-fertile or fertile;

SIGN		FERTILITY		SIGN		FERTILITY
Aries		Semi-Barren		Libra		Semi-Fertile
Taurus		Semi-Fertile		Scorpio		Fertile
Gemini		Barren		Sagittarius		Semi-Barren
Cancer		Fertile		Capricorn		Semi-Fertile
Leo		Barren		Aquarius		Semi-Barren
Virgo		Barren		Pisces		Fertile

The lunar phases mainly govern what types of planting to do and what type of activity is best.

LUNAR PHASE		TASKS
New Moon to Full Moon		Sow above ground plants such as flowers, shrubs, trees and lawns
Full Moon to Third Quarter		Sow below ground plants such as root vegetables, potatoes, carrots & onions
Third Quarter to New Moon		Weed, eradicate pests, clear ground & remove rubbish

It is also considered unwise to plant or move any plants on the calendar day on which the moon changes phase.
