Not just mustard: summer residents were told about a green manure that will make the soil loose and restore the fertile layer
Having realized the power and charm of planting green manure in their beds, summer residents often choose mustard or phacelia.
Both plants are considered universal, but we must not forget about other, no less useful varieties. For example, buckwheat.
Gardeners who sow buckwheat in the fall claim that after sowing it, the soil becomes incredibly loose.
As for the restoration of the fertile soil layer, buckwheat copes with this task no worse than others.
The benefits of buckwheat in the garden
It is unclear why gardeners have undeservedly neglected buckwheat.
Firstly, this plant is more suitable than any other for sowing in the garden in autumn. The fact is that it saturates the soil with potassium and phosphorus, which are necessary for the next season.
Secondly, buckwheat loosens the soil perfectly due to its developed root system. Gardeners claim that the roots go to a depth of up to one meter.
Thirdly, for sowing per hundred square meters of land, 1 kg of buckwheat seeds is required, and it does not matter what crops will grow on the plot in the new season.
