Which green manure crops are best to sow in July to increase soil fertility
In mid-summer, the owners begin to clear their beds of plantings after harvesting.
It is recommended to plant green manure in free space.
They will make the soil more fertile, remove weeds and saturate it with organic fertilizers. Green manures include mustard, oats, rye and phacelia.
These plants can be sown as soon as space becomes available in the beds.
Phacelia is planted among strawberries. If the garden is young, plant peas, phacelia, lupine, buckwheat or beans. If the garden is old, plant sainfoin, clover or alfalfa.
It is better to sow green manure in a free place where you are not going to grow anything this season. In the spring, sow oil radish. It needs to be plowed during flowering.
Then sow lupine and plough again in August. After lupine, sow mustard. Such plantings will make the soil fertile and loose.
Phacelia is planted to improve the soil. Mustard will help to eliminate plant diseases. Lucerne, clover and peas will saturate the soil with nitrogen. Buckwheat will saturate the soil with potassium and phosphorus.
Plants will grow greener if you plant oats. Planted oilseed radish will remove nematodes from the soil.
You can combine vetch, pea and oat seeds. When growing to a height of 10 cm, they are trimmed. Green manure is mown when the oats grow panicles.
