* To determine the local time of the lunar calendar event in Kaliningrad, you need to subtract -1 hour, in Perm: add +1 hour, in Yekaterinburg: +2; Novosibirsk: +3, Krasnoyarsk: +4 hours... in Vladivostok: +7, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky: +9 hours.

The moon, changing every day, actively affects all the fluids of our planet, even the juices of plants, largely determining their development. The gardener's lunar calendar for October 2019 helps you navigate this and choose the right days for a particular activity in the garden and in the garden.

October 2019 will begin with a waning moon period - from the 1st to the 7th it will decrease, and on the 8th it will disappear from the sky altogether. This time is favorable for harvesting, putting things in order in the beds, preparing them for subsequent planting or sowing.
