Which plants will serve as a natural, so -called green fertilization? It will improve the soil structure, support the soil life and supply nutrients quite ecologically. Do not forget him this year!
What plants are suitable for green fertilization?
Mustard is most commonly used. It grows fast, suppresses weeds, and can survive even weaker frosts. Sea rape is another reliable plant that can handle different soils and protect the flower bed from erosion. If you want a stronger effect, plant mustard and rape. Vikev, rye or bundle are also suitable. These plants provide enough green matter and manage autumn sowing.
The seeds are best removed from the end of August to mid -October depending on the weather. It is important to lay the plants into the soil before the flower to degrade faster.
But they are not just nutrients that are important in the soil. We should also remember pH soil. After using green fertilization, it can be lower than usual. You will measure it like this.
