Not every experienced gardener knows the intricacies and features of each type of green manure, which is absolutely normal.
Therefore, it is worth periodically updating your knowledge base, since green manure is an inexpensive and useful means of improving the quality of the soil.
To begin with, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh recommends choosing mustard.
What you need to know about this green manure
Planting dates
Remember that mustard can be sown at any time convenient for you: green manure will always be useful. If we are talking about preparing the soil for the beginning of the season, then planting activities are carried out immediately after the snow cover melts.
It takes about 30 days to develop, which is important to take into account.
Frost resistance
A pleasant feature of mustard is its ability to develop normally even during cold weather. Green manure can even survive frosts if the weather brings you unpleasant "surprises".
Benefits of Summer Planting
After some crops have yielded a harvest, it is best to plant mustard immediately. You will have time to work it into the soil and restore the yield unusually quickly.
After the final harvest
If you want the soil to really recover, then mustard should be planted at the end of the season. It is best to carry out planting work in mid-autumn.
