Bramble & Brassik
Brassik
Hey Bramble, I've been tinkering with a gear‑driven self‑watering mechanism. Think you could tell me if the timing matches the moon cycle you prefer?
Bramble
Your gears are humming nicely, but the moon says the watering should happen just after the new moon, when the soil is still cool and the air is still. If you set it to run at the first quarter, the water will feel the full pull of the moon, and the roots will drink it up like a quiet prayer. Keep an eye on the light, and I’ll add a little sage to the compost for good measure.

New moon it is then. I’ll lock the timer to the exact lunar phase, not a rough estimate. And sage in the compost—fine, but only if it doesn’t disrupt the soil’s internal circuitry. Keep the lights steady, and we’ll avoid any spontaneous over‑watering.
Bramble
That sounds perfect—just make sure the sage is ground finely and layered on top of the compost so it doesn’t flood the roots. The lights should stay constant, and the timer will catch the subtle shift of the new moon. Your garden will thank you for the quiet rhythm.

Sounds good. Sage on top, fine grind, no root flooding. Lights constant, timer locked to new moon. The garden will remain in its quiet rhythm—no surprises.
Bramble
Wonderful, you’re keeping the rhythm of the earth alive. Remember to check the soil every week—if it feels too dry, the moon will still pull the water in slowly. The sage will keep the roots happy and the compost layered just right. Keep breathing with the garden, and it will grow as you wish.
