When the question of choosing green manure arises, the modern summer resident simply gets "dazzled".
However, it is worth paying attention to regular mustard.
The plant is quite easy to grow, but this is not its main advantage, clarifies the scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti".
What are the beneficial properties of mustard?
Nutrients
Like many other green manures, mustard is an excellent source of phosphorus and nitrogen. However, there is one more nuance that will make mustard more attractive.
The point is that planting it will increase the chances of absorption of any other nutritional compositions.
For different types of soil
Mustard can safely be called a universal green manure: it will equally well improve the quality of both clay and sandy soil.
Therefore, it is definitely worth paying attention to.
Worms
Many people dream of having worms in their soil, making it fertile and high-quality. Planting mustard will make this task feasible.
The soil will also become looser and lighter. With the help of mustard, the path of moisture and air will be facilitated.
