Planting green manure is a life-saving practice for many summer residents in a number of cases.
These plants are usually relied upon if you want to improve the structure of the soil, its composition, and also get rid of weeds.
But there may also be difficulties with planting green manure, which is important to take into account, noted Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an agronomist and landscape designer, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
White mustard is generally planted to improve the soil structure. Yes, green manure copes with this task.
But the plant has hidden potential that not everyone knows about.
Planting mustard can rid you of mole crickets, slugs and even wireworms.
Some people think that green manure can grow in various soils, but this is not entirely true. Some crops can be demanding.
But buckwheat will be ready to improve the composition and structure of any soil.
Peas will grow well and improve the soil only if they have good lighting and enough water. Peas should also not be planted "solo".
For every three parts of green manure, you should take one part of any other plants.
