One of the most effective ways to restore soil is to sow green manure crops.
For example, phacelia. If you plant it every spring, everything will definitely be fine with the garden.
We will tell you why this particular plant should be planted as green manure.
Why should phacelia be sown as green manure in spring?
The main advantage of this plant over other green manures is its unpretentiousness.
Phacelia can grow in any soil and tolerates spring frosts well.
In addition, this plant has a short growing season.
Secondly, this green manure allows you to reduce the amount of weeds.
Phacelia grows in a dense carpet, making it very difficult for weeds to break through it.
The plant effectively fights even woodlice and couch grass. Phacelia deacidifies the soil, thereby reducing the number of these weeds.
Thirdly, this green manure can be planted after absolutely any garden crops; it does not have the same diseases and pests.
This is how phacelia compares favorably with mustard, which has common pests with cruciferous plants.
