About 40 years ago I read an article in Yankee Magazine about cutting brush by the phases of the moon. A supposed skeptic of doing things by moon phases responded that he tried it and it worked! I also am a skeptic, unless someone can explain a scientific rationale for it. However I have had great success in getting rid of hybrid poplar by cutting it shortly before leaf fall, which was the approximate time suggested by the article. I have had less success with other trees/brush, and wonder if someone can help refine this process from experience and not just theory.
