Thank you for all your insights. I've started with my planting and so far so good. I will post some pictures when I can.

Has anyone ever tried this, what were your results? Did you get fruit sooner because the plant got more nutrients, or did you get fruit later because the plant had to make up so much growth?

This is something I might try this year. Thanks for any reports.

One book about feng shui said that it is a way of bringing the outside and the gardens into the house and living spaces, so that people benefit from the good energy of the outdoors in their dwellings. I am not very good at feng shui. People study it all their life. It apparently is a very old system.
I can't think what the terms feng shui mean right now.

Interesting. I will try to get more on this and see what applies to me. Thanks Greta.

This is the first time I heard about planting by moon signs. I was just wondering - is Feng Shui also applicable for planting?

I wouldn't suggest mixing. I'd like to keep it clean by separating waste compost.
