@HorseloverFat recently posted a picture of the schedule in a book. Says don't Repot ON the Full Moon, says the day before is ok, and the couple weeks after.
I repotted my Smoke tree, 4 elms of different leaf out and rootwork levels, a Maple and a juniper on these days a couple moons ago (summer) and they are doing well.
Still haven't had a Repot fail like this.

Good to know. I know the phases of the moon have played a role in agriculture for 1000's of years for many different cultures. The Old Farmers Almanac still going strong is a great source for this. Speaking of which, the almanac predicting very cold winter this year for most of the country....start getting your john's ready.

I can see that. Does it say anything about when? I feel the trees telling me it's going to be late.

"The coldest conditions are expected to arrive during the last week of January and stick around through the beginning of February.
The eastern half of the US will have a suspenseful start in 2020. The Farmers' Almanac predicts strong and gusty winds. Depending on where you live, January 4-7 and 12-15 could have "copious amounts" of snow, rain, sleet and ice." CNN report.

Um, the titles "corn moon" and "harvest moon" really have nothing to do with mystical plan growth cycles. The are used because the light the full moons in Autumn extend the workday for the harvest...
Ok...good to know. Another example of how the moon has been used in agriculture.

That sounds mystical! There is still a period of darkness that our eyes need to adjust to, so unless they would eat dinner, then go back out to work at night, it wouldn't really extend the work day.

Most farm machinery, combines, ect. have lights now.

How farmers can afford them shits that are nicer than any vehicle I have ever owned is also mystical!

That's the problem! Well, the interest level. Like bankers don't have interest in sustenance.

What? If you're outside working in the field your eyes adjust with the light as it lessens.... It does indeed extend the work day.
And auto steer.

Govt subsidies? I had a friend whose parents were rose "farmers" and said they got a lot of money from the govt.
Some yes, certainly more than I get from the govt.
I took a tour of a John Deere distributor in the Valley and they showed us all the bells and whistles on modern farming equipment. That is one reason why 5G is going to be a game changer for rural America. Farmers put a virtual fence around their fields and are notified if any of their equipment rolls off the farm.
Very cool. We're not there yet around here. I was talking to one of the guys I work with today and apparently you enter the field dimensions in, but someone still has to be in the cab to turn at the end of a row. He also told me a guy he knew fell asleep and the vehicle went out of the field, across a ditch and onto a highway, lol.
