The time around the full moon is very suitable for a lot of gardening work.

The first full moon of 2023 is due on January 7th at 00:07.

Even those who don't plant flower bulbs can find meaningful activities.

The time around the full moon on January 7 proves to be especially good for planning beds and getting other things done.

• Chopping wood: Those who have not yet done so should chop wood by January at the latest.

  The time before or around the January full moon, also known as the wolf moon, is the ideal time to chop wood.

  In January, the wood is usually well dried if you have stored it properly.

• Fertilizing: According to

  Servus

  , the soil can absorb liquid particularly well during the full moon, which is why you can now fertilize or water plants.

  Note that many plants are dormant in winter and require fewer nutrients.

• For repotting: The replanting and repotting of plants should also work particularly well on full moon days, as the plants are said to be most robust during the full moon.

• Planning the bed: January is a good time to plan the bed for spring.

• Sowing cold germs: It is best to sow the seeds just before the full moon, around January 5th or 6th.
