A summer cottage greenhouse requires special care. If you do not control the situation, one day it will turn into a breeding ground for diseases and pests.
To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to tidy up the greenhouse and soil, and then sow green manure.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist agronomist and landscape designer, told us which green manure is ideal for a greenhouse.
Green manure for greenhouses
As is known, when sowing green manure crops, it is necessary to follow crop rotation rules.
In this case, white mustard is recommended for sowing.
It is believed that it grows well regardless of what predecessors grew in the soil before it.
Benefits of White Mustard
This is the simplest and most accessible way for everyone to bring the soil in the greenhouse into perfect order.
In addition to the standard saturation of the soil with nutrients, it should be noted that white mustard actively resists the spread of fungi and other pathogens.
Another positive aspect is the smell, which many insect pests and their larvae cannot stand.
In addition, mustard roots deeply loosen the soil, which improves its oxygen saturation, and dense shoots do not allow weeds to grow.
How to proceed
Sowing is carried out after removing the remains of vegetation and other debris in the greenhouse (including supports and garters).
It would not be a bad idea to wash the walls and base of the structure with green soap or another product.
Then all that remains is to dig up the soil and sow the seeds at a rate of 10 grams per 1 square meter.
Rake the bed and in the spring dig up the remains of the mustard shoots.
