It is important to remember that despite all the potential benefits of green manure, each plant has its own specifics.
Therefore, before choosing, you need to study all the features of each green manure.
What are the differences between popular cultures?
When to choose vetch
This green manure is perfect if you need help in fighting weeds: vetch will cope with them without any particular difficulties.
After this, almost all crops can be planted. The exception will be all types of legumes.
You can plant green manure before winter at the end of the second month of autumn.
Benefits of Barley
Thanks to this plant, the quality of the soil will significantly improve: it will become looser. The soil will also retain moisture better.
After barley, you can plant everything except other cereals.
When is it worth planting oats?
This green manure will be a godsend for those who need to restore the potassium balance in the soil: thanks to oats, there will be no deficiency.
The plant also helps to overcome some pests and will serve as a preventative measure against a number of diseases.
However, you cannot plant potatoes after it.
