No mention of the moon phase.

Again no mention of moon phases.

ur like a spoiled child getting whipt the first time gonna cry forever and just make stuff up ur so full of it. And if u could read we don't use a vet we do it. I'm guessing u never even touched a horse let alone ropes one wrested it down spread it out and cut it gtfoh.pwatchhowIdoit

What does having a vet do it or yourself have to do with your claim, 'you must castrate a horse during a full moon or it will bleed out'? Its a wives tail plain and simple. I think your method is the reason you personally need to be concerned about your horse bleeding out.

I second what he says...
On a not so traveled dirt road during the droughts here where i live, where the shade of the trees cover the road, the very next morning at sunrise, there are moist almost wet patches of soil... Only explained by the gravitational pull of the moon... what else,

Ok horseman, you dont cut fillies, those are young females. When fillies get to be about 4 yrs of age we then call them mares. You cut colts, young males. When their testicles decend, around 1 yr of age, they become Studs. Unless you castrate them then they become geldings. Maybe even 'proud' cut them. Want me to explain that too you also? Anything more of your equestrian knowledge you want to share? Probaly not because you have to have some to begin with...obviously you do not....
And dont play the 'I was just testing you card' when it come to your 'pillies' question. I know better, your words give you away. Threats and name calling to redirect attention away from the fact you do not know what you are talking about.

I do not disagree with the tidal forces of the moon by no means. Just do not agree with many of the wives tails that have been attached to them...

RIU at its best, lol. Does the moon phases effect plants? You it does, you want proof run some side by sides. I have been planting, cultivating, harvesting by moonphases all my life. You can naysay about this all you want but until you have used it, seen it for yourself. Plant to the waning and waxing of the moon and see the differences in plant structure and root structure. Plant potatoes in a waxing moon and look at the pretty flowers on your plant and the lack of tubers in the soil.
Just because you don't believe it doesn't make it untrue or an old wives tale. I can't comment on the castrating of horses and bleeding out or not, always had a vet do my horses. However, I have cut thousands upon thousands of pigs. You want a bloody mess try it against the moon and you can see the difference in the amount of bleeding and the time it takes for the incession to heal. Don't believe it still take clones on a full moon and a new moon and see which ones root the fastest with the most vigourous growth. You really want to see what the moon can do? Dig a hole in the ground, place all the dirt on a piece of plastic so you make sure you don't lose any. During a waxing moon there is ample dirt to fill up the hole, waning moon there will not be enough dirt to level the hole. Explaination it is beyond me but it works.
Old wives tales, people would be better served to explore what is truth, wives tales and fairy tales.

This is just a few links which are available, try googling moon phase affects on plants, try it or don't try it makes no difference to me. People have been growing in this manner for thousands of years, so maybe we are all just a little bit ignorant to the subject. Until you try this it is hard to explain, but take the time do a few plants, clones, pruning and such by the moon and some against the moon and make your arguements against growing by the moon.
Just my two cents

Full, waining, waxing or new. The moons size and gravity remains the same.

The moon size my stay the same but the gravitational forces it produces changes. The moon gravity may be the same but the pull excerted is increased by the alignment of the sun in conjuction with the moon. This is simple junior high science. All you have to do is to look at the tides and their monthly highest and lowest tides to realize there is more tug/gravity or less depending on the phase of the moon.

The gravitational force of the moon is one ten-millionth that of earth, but when you combine other forces such as the earth's centrifugal force created by its spin, you get tides.
Tides are not caused by the direct pull of the moon's gravity. The moon is pulling upwards on the water while the earth is pulling downward. Slight advantage to the moon and thus we have tides.

what reason do you have to believe it? what undeniable proof do you have? have you seen someone cut a horse on the wrong phase?
reacting the way you did shows us that you just believe what people told you, and resort to violence when those beliefs are questioned.
thanks for the info, ill check out the links in a bit. maybe ill find some seeds for some plants to test this. i dont have a horse to test the castration thing on though lol

So canefan, should I take cuttings on a full moon or no? I was going to take cuttings from my Heavenly Bamboo in the next couple of days and the moon will be full. Should I wait?

From what you are describing I would say that you are looking at morning dew.

"During the day, the ground will heat up from the sun. But at night, as the ground begins to cool, the temperature will drop to the dew point -- the temperature at which the air becomes saturated. As this happens, the water vapor near the ground will condense onto objects near the surface -- such as grass, plants, cars, etc.
Grass is an excellent dew collector because it gives off its own water, making the air near the grass easier to condense." Steve Pool, Meterologist

I take most of my cuttings after the full, about 3 days or more and then stop at 3 days before the new moon. I truly don't understand the 3 days before the new moon but that was the way it was taught to me by my grandfather.
If you really want to learn a bit more about when to do what by moon phases and zodiac signs(this isn't horescope stuff just where the planets are and if the sign is a water or fire sign). This has to do with the water flow and hormones within the plant and whether the injuries by cutting (pruning) something heal healthier. I wish you much luck and success.

Thanks a lot. The info is much appreciated. I am actually glad that I need to wait a week or so 'cause now it's not procrastination - it's just the moon cycle! hehehehe.
I bought a 64 site cloner and figured that I would test it on the Bamboo first before I touch my girls. I will use the bamboo as a privacy barrier between my yard and the one for sale next door.
Thanks again Canefan
