I do, to some extent. I'm not sure it makes a big difference, and I certainly don't believe in the more "woo-woo" aspects of the practice
The main reason I do it is that it helps to structure the busier times of the year - instead of rushing around like a crazy woman, I can sow leafy crops one week, fruiting crops the next, roots the next, and then do my other tasks (like putting up bird boxes or cleaning tools) at the end of the cycle.
That said, I'm not too bothered if life or the weather doesn't play ball and I have to sow things in the "wrong" quarter in order to get them in on time. I don't want to have to wait four weeks to sow something, if it really needs to be started this month in order to have the best growing conditions.
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!
