There are a few ‘grow by the moon calendars’ on the market and I wonder if you are able to recommend one that is easily accessible and helpful for a beginner.
There are so many choices and so many ways of interpreting moon forces. I have put a new menu bar on the second line of this site, ‘Moon’, covering some experiments here from the past two years.
I use Maria Thun’s calendar but am selective in what I pull out of it! I like the layout and commentaries but she pays little attention to waxing and waning which for me is important.
Maybe have a browse in a bookshop and see what you are drawn to.
