Green ManureIf you have any uncultivated areas on your plot or allotment, why not consider growing a catch crop of a 'Green Manure'. Green Manures came in a range of varieties and mixtures and are useful for keeping vacant ground weed-free. When incorporated back into the soil, the Green Manure will add structure and valuable nutrients.

Growing a 'green manure' is an easy and effective way to add vital organic matter to the soil anywhere in your garden or allotment. The foliage helps to suppress weeds and provides cover for beetles and other pest-eating creatures. The roots will help improve your soil structure.

Plan green manures into your vegetable crop rotation; grow them anywhere the soil would otherwise be left empty for six weeks or longer.

Choosing Green Manure Seeds can seem very confusing but with a little time and using a few rules the options will become clearer.

The choice of seed will depend on why you are planting a Green Manure, how long you require the ground to be covered, what was there before, and what you want to plant after, the time of year and the type of soil you have.
