Wisdom from the Old farmer's Almanac

Manure spread in the light of the moon (from the day the moon is new to the day it is full) will dry up and blow away: in the dark of the moon (from the day after it is full to the day before it is new) will sink into the earth!

Sounds like a BS story to me!
Just kidding, there's a lot of knowledge in the OFA.

So which did I do. I spread some yesterday so is it going to blow away of sink in???

doesn't state what kind of manure, so it could BS or cow sheet or chicken sheet etc...

Lay a board on the grass in the light of the moon, the board will turn up and the grass will not die. Lay one down on the dark of the moon and it will curl down and kill the grass.

Don't matter over here in Northern Ireland....It usually rains enough to either wash it in or wash it away!

It won't blow away here right now, don't care what the moon is doing. It is going to freeze harder than a rock before you can get back to the barn to get the next load!

Sounds like Bull Sheet to me.

I don't know about drying up and blowing away, but there are a lot of truth's to the moon sign's. Dad was a big believer and when I was a kid I kinda doubted it. But as I have gotten older I am a firm believer as I have seen the positive results.

You will have to ask Sam but my dad told me you put the base stones for a fence down in the light of the moon or the stone fence would sink in the ground or was that backwards?!> well my fence would fall over anyway.

As if anyone needed proof you shouldn't put too much faith in what you read in the Almanac.
