Oats

This green manure is especially useful for summer residents who have to work with clay soils. Planting this crop significantly improves the quality of the soil, making it looser.

Barley

It is definitely worth planting this option if you plan to harvest potatoes afterwards. Barley is ideal for this task.

Vetch

This green manure will suppress weed activity when planted and will also make the soil more suitable for growing crops.
