To increase their harvest, gardeners resort to various tricks and intricacies, even taking the position of the Sun and Moon into account when planting. Even in ancient times, people knew that the Earth's satellite has a profound influence on our plants, and they never sowed or planted during the full and new moons. This is also not advisable during the waning moon, but its waxing moon will stimulate the growth of various crops, including garlic. This is a scientifically proven fact.
Lunar phases and their influence on seeds
Scientists have experimentally discovered how the phases of the moon affect plants:
- Seeds planted during the new moon poorly absorb water with dissolved nutrients, which slows down their growth.
- Planting a plant during the waxing moon allows it to better absorb moisture and develop quickly.
- It is better to harvest during the new moon, when the plant contains less water, so the harvest will keep better.
Astrologers have determined which days are best for planting garlic before winter in 2023, and which are not suitable for this.

Top.tomathouse.com informs: The influence of constellations and planets on planting
When planting crops, consider the position of the planets and constellations in relation to the Moon. For example, if Saturn is approaching, crops planted during this period are more resilient and durable.
When the Moon is waning in Sagittarius, planting garlic will yield a good harvest next year, not only for food, but also as excellent planting material.
