Yeah that hippy shite got me too. But it might be as simple as planting with moon phases etc which is common and not that far out man.

Is it at the moon phases that you find the best mushrooms ::)

Amongst other things, it's a good time to plant seeds. A friend of the brother uses it for pike fishing to great effect.

What the pike have watches now or is it they look up at the moon and say "Jasus I'm famished I'd luv a big juicy worm right about now". :D

It's pretty complex, not sure of details, but if you watch the surface of a lake on moonlit nights you'll see a ripple now and again. This is a tidal pull, if you listen when it happens you'll hear cows mooing and clocks crowing, if you have a pike bait in the water at the same time you'll inevitably get a hit. So I'm told.
