Green manure helps fight weeds.
In this article, we will tell you which plants are best to choose.
Which green manures best fight weeds
Green manures are plants that are planted in the ground to fertilize the garden and prevent the appearance of weeds.
After green manure blooms, plant residues form organic fertilizer in the beds.
As a rule, gardeners plow it into the soil after mowing, but sometimes use it as mulch.
You can use buckwheat, oats, soybeans and rye as green manure.
Before sowing, it is necessary to apply organic and mineral fertilizers.
The seeds of these crops are evenly scattered over the surface after plowing or digging the ground and covered with a rake.
After ripening, green manure must be crushed and dried.
What green manures can be sown in spring
In the spring, you can plant green manure such as rapeseed, mustard, phacelia, rye, and oats in the garden.
These plants are perfect for healing and disinfecting soil for gardening.
From early spring to August inclusive, you can also sow calendula or marigolds.
Which green manures are best to plant in the fall
At the beginning of autumn, you can sow green manure, which will have time to grow greenery before frost.
For example, radish, mustard.
Late plantings of “green fertilizer” can be planted in the ground both in autumn and spring. Winter-hardy green manures are also sown in the fall. Choose oats, rye, vetch, rapeseed, clover.
