Let's Go: Astrologers' Tips for Those Who Tackle Potato Digging in August
From 4 to 18 August 2020, the moon is in a waning stage. And, according to the assurances of astrologers, this directly affects garden planting. The sap and vitality of all plants from the aboveground part flows into the underground. Root crops dug out during this period turn out to be as tasty and nutritious as possible.

Therefore, August 4-18 are favorable dates for digging up potatoes.. As well as for harvesting all other root crops. Moreover, the maximum concentration of "vital juices" in tubers accumulates in the last 3 days: August 16, 17 and 18. Excellent, comrades, if by this time your potatoes are already asking to go outside.
Left alone in August critical in the astrological world of the Moon, the date is New Moon. It falls on August 19. Digging potatoes on New Moon is a nightmare of astrologers. On this day, it is generally not recommended to take up serious business.
From 20 to 31 August, the moon grows. Consequently, the juice rises from the tubers. I would not be categorical, naming these days especially unfavorable. But, as the country lunar calendar assures, the harvest will not be as tasty as it could be.
What about September?
Looking ahead, I will say: there are many excellent days!
September 1, the last day of the growing moon, will fly by unnoticed, conditionally unfavorable. And who would think of gardening on the Day of Knowledge? On September 2, there is a Full Moon, on which you certainly should not take a shovel.
But then, from September 3 to September 16, the most favorable days for the main event of the autumn event - harvesting potatoes. Almost 2 weeks is enough for everyone! Moreover, in all regions by this time the "bulb" is already ripening.
Nothing bad will happen if you dig up the potatoes later, on the growing moon (from 18 to 30 September). When it is no longer possible to hesitate, there is no time for the movement of life juices according to astrological predictions. Just please avoid the 17th New Moon.
