The harvest times depended on that and the sowed in the fourth phase of the new moon.It also had an influence on the livestock. Anecdotes. The time for cutting the wood also depended on the Moon.

00:47:40		 moon: (39:47”) The influence of the moon goes beyond a mere belief. Newton’s law is also at work between the Earth and the Moon and the Sun.Just as the tides are influenced by it, the Moon and the Sun attract the essence of the plants and the trees.Full Moon: the Sun is behind the Moon and that is why we see that part of the moon which is not in light. Consequently, during a full moon, as the Sun is on one side and the moon on the other, each pulls in its own direction and thus, the force is divided between the two.But when it is a new moon each one is pulling in the same direction and thus the force is stronger and this has a direct effect on the vegetable plots. Goodbye.
