Moon Gardening, there's a bit more of the theory here.
I've heard of the technique being used for medicinal plants as well as edible ones.

It's featured in old Farmer's Almanacs and the like, one day when I have enough time I'd like to try a few small scale observations.

#36: Stonehenge as a Giant Xylophone/Lithophone.
Author: Jon Wozencroft and/or Paul Devereux (2013)
Preseli Bluestones which are the stones found on the 5000-year-old site might have been picked due to their "acoustic energy."
Summary at Royal College of Art
Huff post article"
Note hypothesis related to hypothesis #5, but #5 is more about sound reflection rather than using the stones as an instrument

I don't know enough about the moon cycles of Stonehenge, but as a qualified herbalist I did investigate the moon cycle planting issues. There are a few books on this and it seems to have a long tradition. I do know that certain medicinal plants have been proven to have a high content of the so-called "active" chemicals at full moon which is why traditional herbalists and witches gathered them at night. So I guess the shamen/women would have known about this during the stone age.
