Tides are caused by many factors, but by far the most influential is the moon’s gravitational pull on the ocean. It takes the moon on average 24hrs, 50 minutes and 28 seconds to reappear at the same place in the sky, during this period most areas in the world have two high tides and two low tides.

The tide clock has been specially designed to rotate twice each period giving you a quick and easy indication of high and low water.

Full instructions on how to set up your tide clock are included. Position clock in sheltered location away from the brunt of the elements if possible.

Needs one AA battery (not supplied).

This growing (in both senses of the word) art/science can inform you when to plant and to water for maximum effectiveness/yield.
Used by the ancients the phases of the moon are believed to have a beneficial effect on the growth of certain plants.
So when the moon is waxing i.e. where the light of the moon is increasing then it is believed to be the time to plant or sow vegetables that grow above the ground. Such as spinach, peppers, beans, broccoli etc.
Likewise when the moon is waning and there is less light then is the time to plant root vegetable such as potatoes, beetroots or carrots.

Full instructions for setting up your clock are included. Made from recycled coffee cups. Suitable for use outdoors.
