Green Manure Seeds

Green manures are used to cover bare soil to prevent weed growth while the ground isn't in use, improve your soil fertility, increase the humus content, and improve the structure of your soil. They are particularly useful in autumn time after other crops have been harvested. Choose the species that is suitable for either the job required or to fit the time period that the area is not needed for growing crops. Some species of green manures are not winter hardy, meaning that you will not need to specially dig in the plants in the spring as the root system will have done its work, and normal spring cultivation can take place. When you're ready to start sowing crops and vegetable seeds, simply dig up and prepare soil for sowing.
