You have probably already guessed that phacelia belongs to the category of green manure crops, which improve the soil and indirectly increase crop yields.
It should be noted that phacelia belongs to the category of universal green manure - vegetables and berries will feel quite comfortable after this plant.
This flower is distinguished by its unpretentiousness, resistance to cold and drought.
Let's see why the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advise planting this flower.
Why plant phacelia
This beautiful flower can be planted immediately after the snow melts – 2 grams per square meter is enough.
It feels great even on rocky soil.
If you sow it in winter, the flower will protect the ground from deep freezing.
Phacelia loosens the soil perfectly, but if the soil is light, the root system of the green manure strengthens it, reducing acidity levels.
