Green Manure

Green manure is an environmentally friendly type of manure used to help enrich and sustain healthy soils. The seed should be scattered on bare ground and grow to cover bare soil, usually on the vegetable patch after a crop has been harvested and cleared. Green manure keeps beneficial nutrients in the soil and prevents soil erosion, it also helps keep weeds at bay. The plants should be dug into the soil at anytime from tiny seedlings to young plants, but should be done before the plants flower and mature. Our green manure includes Red Clover, White Clover, Mustard and Buck Wheat.
