Looking to the Stars and Moon For Optimal Growing

Liz Wagner (Eastern Pennsylvania Correspondent for Lancaster Farming) had a chat with Sherry Wildfeuer. She is the author of the Stella Natura, an annual planting calendar that follows the sun, moon, planets and stars, and their effects on plant growth and development. She has been creating this calendar since 1978, growing from handwritten copies for herself and her friends to an annual print of 8,000 calendars.

She talked about how althought half of the biodynamic community focuses on phases of the moon, Sherry Wildfeuer studies and calendars are based on more nuanced and complex astronomy. Her Stella Natura includes a key to interpret each month, from the zodiacal constellations and the course of the moon to the sun, moon and planets in the sky and their significant planetary events.
