        This, of course, is not an 'experiment' but a survey. An
experiment would include controls to reduce the number of variables to
only those studied. His method vastly increases the variables purposely.
His participants are selected from a group of people already predisposed
to find the results he wants. The controlled tests have been done and do
not support the assertion that moon planting has any effect that cannot
be explained by light values.
        Not a slam at you BTW, I still think the results will be
interesting. It's just that he will not be measuring the effect of the
moon, he will be measuring the size of his dedicated audience.
