I will now add a years worth of composted leaves and grass, lime and some Dr. Earths organic fertilizer and till that in as soon as the weather permits. I will then be ready to plant. My squash in the green house and is getting too big for the 4 inch containers, so, I am thinking about transplanting them into larger ones till I can put them in the garden. I plan to plant nice straight rows again and take a photo to show TVguy.

Apparently TV thinks the guy I hire to run the tiller should get credit for my beautiful garden. Besides, this year I tilled and my friend dug the holes for the starts.

Gravitational pull influences moisture in soil
Planting by the moon is an idea as old as agriculture, based both in folklore and superstition, but there are scientific ideas to back it up The Earth is in a large gravitational field, influenced by both the sun and moon. The tides are highest at the time of the new and the full moon, when sun and moon are lined up with earth. Just as the moon pulls the tides in the oceans, it also pulls upon the subtle bodies of water, causing moisture to rise in the earth, which encourages growth. The highest amount of moisture is in the soil at this time, and tests have proven that seeds will absorb the most water at the time of the full moon.

So, it's basically a technique to maximize seed imbibition, if you're into that kinda thing.

The rooster, not your husband right?
I had to dispatch a couple of roosters that could not tell time. So I actually feel for you.

That roosters only crow at dawn is as an old myth. "Dispatch" I bet even Ponder can live with that
RE: What's in your garden? - PonderThis - 05-29-2012
I've killed a rooster or two in my life.
RE: What's in your garden? - APPLEGATE - 05-29-2012

You should say. I "laid them to rest" or was "responsible for their demise" for the sake of the sensitive.
Someone gave the wife and I 11 young roosters. We let them fatten up but when it came time to slaughter and eat them we realized there was no way in hell we could catch them.
My friend was over and he showed us what his grandma taught him. You take a stout sick about 2 or three feet long. Hold it low and parallel to the ground and throw it at the roosters so that it 's spinning.
It worked very well. My guess is that this is a method used by humans for thousands of years.
