Green Manure today at Thompson & Morgan!

What is a green manure? It’s a plant grown as soil cover that is intended to be dug into the soil and allowed to rot down. No crop is harvested from it and it is designed to grow and be dug in to enrich the soil.
There are two main types – spring sowing and autumn sowing.
If you are clearing land on your vegetable plot now you can sow a green manure. It also helps keep the soil in good shape and prevents it being subject to wind and water erosion more than leaving the soil bare.
Follow the instructions and dig in before the plants flower!
