The main enemies of the garden are drought, insects and weeds. Therefore, vegetable garden owners spend a lot of time and effort on care, watering and insect treatment. We tell you when you need to work on the vegetable garden, so that a rich harvest awaits you!
Experienced gardeners notice that it is best to plant plants at dawn or before lunch. With a waxing Moon, it is good to use mineral fertilisers to feed the plants. When the Moon is waning, use organic fertilisers. Here is the lunar sowing calendar for the vegetable grower and gardener for August 2025!
The most favourable days for planting and transplanting plants in August 2025 are 1 – 7, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, 20, 26 – 31! and the worst days for planting and transplanting plants in August 2025 are 8, 9, 22 – 24 August.
