Partial success in 'moon' gardening - By: Mrs. Eileen Barnes, 01 Nov 2008 
I found the whole subject fascinating with some success & some failures. My sweet peas were magnificent with really long stems & a very long flowering season (Jun - Sep) & runner beans equally as good & very prolific. Unfortunately the carrot root fly had not read the book & despite sowing 2 packets of french beans nothing came up at all. I suppose it's a case of 'you win some, you lose some'
I shall certainly use the system this year & at present my toilet roll middles are filled &in the propagator waiting for the right day to sow
Gardening by the moon - By: Moon lover, 30 Oct 2007 
Whilst I found this book interesting I would have preferred more charts & diagrams to enable me to easily see what I should be doing when. Nick seems to totally miss out on the fact that there is more to moon growing than just the waxing & waining of the moon, for example, whether the moon is ascending or descending can make a considerable differencein the growth of certain crops.
Cheap, easy and revolutionary - By: Myrtle, 29 May 2005 I was introduced to this by a man that tiled our kitchen floor. We all know the influence of the sun, but did you know that the moon is just as powerful? There is a hefty explanation, that gets rather technical at times, but basically plants are divided into four categories. Flower, root, leaf & fruit. The lunar calendar guides you to the most auspicious days for sowing, tending & harvesting. The whole concept is fantastic & cheaper than a carton of tomato ripe.
A serious and very informative book on the moon's influence. - By: jcbelcher@lineone.net, 25 Oct 2001 
I have a serious interestin the Moon's behaviour. Thus, catastrophic events take place at the First & Last Quarters of the Moon's orbit. The Californian earthquakes of 1st October 1987 & the 19th January 1984, each followed two weeks later by the Great British Hurricane on the 15th October 1987 & the Irish Sea Hurricane on the 3rd February 1984. These events are separated by the long lunar cycle of 6 solar years & 111 days.
Saturn is the planetary twin of the Earth, being captured by the Sun at the same time. This is why their perihelions are very similar.
The author presents many other behavioural patterns of the Moon which are of interest to those who research lunar phenomena.
That said,in applying this knowledge to the growing of plants the author has shouldered a very difficult task & has succeededin giving us an annual diary that is most invaluable.
I heartily recommend this book.
