Green manures are plants that are used to increase soil fertility.
Plowing plants under crops in beds will help to obtain large harvests.
To ensure that the land in the garden is not empty, green manure can grow on every piece – their benefits are obvious.
Replacement of organic matter
The natural product is a source of organic matter. Green manure will help the soil accumulate more humus and will become a worthy replacement for organic matter, yielding to such fertilizers only in terms of phosphorus and potassium content.
Green manure extracts useful nutrients from the soil. When green manure decomposes, they are in a form accessible to plants.
Benefits of Marigolds for Strawberries
Marigolds repel strawberry nematodes, which love to spoil the juicy berries.
Green manure is planted around the perimeter of the strawberry bed so that it does not interfere with the bushes blooming and bearing fruit.
Marigolds repel pests that attack plants, including strawberries.
Strawberries are planted around the perimeter not only with marigolds, but also with garlic. Pests will definitely not be able to overcome such a barrier.
