Why an experienced gardener plants mustard in the spring: a great way to restore beds
Many summer residents understand that garden beds cannot always provide plants with the necessary elements.
So they do everything they can to restore the soil after a grueling season of growing and harvesting.
You have probably already guessed that we are talking about planting mustard, which belongs to the category of green manure plants.
Let us pay attention to the comments of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why plant mustard
Mustard can be sown from spring to autumn - in the spring, planting is done after the snow melts, as the plants are afraid of the cold.
Mustard ripens within 1.5-2 months, and after it, crops can be sown two weeks after mowing and plowing in the green manure.
Mustard suppresses the growth of weeds. It has a good effect on the growth of peppers, tomatoes and eggplants.
Here is an irreplaceable remedy for fighting scab and late blight. It is also a welcome guest in potato beds.
