To help the soil recover, improve its fertility and protect the beds from weeds, pests and diseases, summer residents often resort to the help of green manure.
Among the many plants suitable for this role, the scales often tip in favor of mustard.
And this is no coincidence - the plant sprouts quickly, contains essential oils that effectively destroy harmful insects and common diseases, mustard seeds do not require preliminary preparation - there are so many advantages that listing them all would take a long time.
However, we should not forget that in addition to its beneficial qualities, this crop has one significant drawback.
From a beneficial green manure, mustard can turn into a weed that is extremely difficult to get rid of.
How to prevent such trouble?
The answer is simple: mow mustard plants in a timely manner, without waiting for them to bloom.
After flowering, mustard leaves behind a huge number of seeds that self-seed throughout the entire area of the site.
