Green manure crops
GREEN MANURE CROPS are fast growing crops (like Blue Lupin, Crimson Clover, Mustard) grown within a rotation for the purposes of:
* covering the bare soil and great substitute for weeds that will otherwise appear
* building soil organic matter and soil structure.
* supplying nitrogen, carbon and other nutrients for a following crop.
* preventing soil erosion and leaching of soluble nutrients from the soil.
I use it on a small scale raised bed gardens in between the crops over winter. Mustards spreads, crimson clover is beautiful to see and blue lupin gives me the most biomass. If I have time to dig it in green - it contributes nitrogen to the soil, if l just leave it chopped and dropped on the soil - it contributes carbon - all happy and I do not berate myself of not doing it on time.
