Green manure plants allow the soil to recover and receive more nutrients.
This is one of the main reasons why many summer residents decide to plant green manure in their beds.
Experienced gardeners believe that if you follow the deadlines, you can get up to 3-4 harvests of useful fertilizers during the year.
Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh regarding the time of planting green manure.
When is the best time to plant green manure?
The summer resident has 3 options.
- Spring. During this period, the mass of green manure plants grows rapidly, and weeds simply have no room to grow. In spring, you can plant mustard, sweet clover, serradella, radish, oats and phacelia.
- Summer or early autumn. At this time, green manure is planted to restore fertility and other valuable properties of the soil. You can plant rape, mustard, radish, rapeseed, legumes and buckwheat.
- Autumn. At this time, you can sow oats, rye and other cereal crops
