I find this a bit silly myself. I probably would never accept this as fact. I've had around 95% germ success rate. You are going to get the occassional duds that just dont pop.

And to call this an experiment would require you to maintain a control which I didn't see in this post, maybe I missed it; and your variable (germing by the moon) would tell you whether it gave you better success than the control. In addition to this you would probably have to germ a few hundred seeds (maybe more) to get an accurate reading.

If you think it works more power to you but you'll never catch me waiting for a full moon to germinate my seeds. :hippy:
daihashi Reviewed by daihashi on . Gardening by The Moon- a discussion of the technique Hey, don't know if anybody but me believes in this...... The moon will be in Cancer on Nov.15th @2:52 pm EST until Monday Nov 17 until 4:06 pm EST. This is a good time to germinate seeds if anyone needs help germinating. The moon will be in the 3rd quarter which helps develop roots.....Best to not plant right near times given, as that is the time sign is changing. Hope this helps, if so let me know, as I am interested. Rating: 5
