Hi folks,

I'm wondering if anyone out there grafts by the moon signs.  I read about 
grafts being more likely to take when done during a waxing moon (going 
towards a full moon) rather than a waning moon (going towards new moon).  My 
vast grafting experience ;) indicates that this does work although my work is 
rather statistically insignificant having been done in large numbers over 
only a few years.

Sounds like a lot of Foxfire folklore at first, but if you consider that the 
moon has the ability to move the ocean into tides perhaps it stands to reason 
that it could also pull more sap up the rootstock resulting in a greater 
likelihood of a graft healing before drying out and therefore being 
successful.

Thoughts???
