I used earn my living as a gardner and this was always my advice to clients.
Taking ones' clothes off is the the best way way to get into moon gardening, just strip off and wander round your garden. It's incredibly liberating, however the garden I have now does have a good few mice, so heavy boots come in handy for squashing them.
I wouldn't do where Evie lives though 'cos they grizzly bears and the only griizzly bare in my garden is me.
Sorry for the joke, when you think of the tides, monthly cycles of women etc. the moon has a great influence on all life on earth. can't say I ever made a difinative study of the lunar effects but I'm sure you are right, quite a few books on the subject.

Moon signs...I worked for an elevator company that had workman on call every night to cover the calls.  One of the workmen would not sign up for the nights of a full moon.  There were recorded more calls on those nights than any others.  

In the emergency room of a hospital, as a nurse if there aren't more calls on a full moon.  Also the mental wards are noisier.

Yes, the moon affects the human being as well as machinery.

Although I am no gardener (although I love to see plants and trees in situ) the theory, as I understand it, is that the fuller the Moon the more moisture there is in the soil.  I have a friend who compiles a Moon Planting Guide every year - some of you may have heard of it ... Gwydion McPagan's Moon Planting Guide.  However, I am fairly certain that it applies to the Northern Hemisphere ... perhaps I should suggest that he writes a Southern version ...

Perhaps people could let me know if this would be useful ...

You are so funny ... 'Gardening by the Light of moon' does not mean planting at midnight...LOL  Interesting that you garden naked.... Very. Me too...but it has nothing to do with the MOON.   I think that the bears are more afraid of me than I am of them!!!!  

Gardening by the signs of the moon really does work. There are many books available, I like Lwwellyn's Moon Signs book. The Yearly Farmers almanac also notes the moon signs for garden planning.

Companion planting also comes in very handy.
