Green Manure Mix Seeds Green Manure Mix Seeds

Green manures are grown to dig into the soil to improve its fertility. They do this by preventing soil erosion, forming humus, holding plant nutrients and helping soil organisms and earthworms. This mixture contains Rye, Vetch, Italian Ryegrass and Forage Pea making it suitable for general use. Covers approximately 3m².. . Prepare the ground by digging, raking and weeding and sow at 35-40g per square metre (1-1½oz per sq yard). The summer-autumn sown crop can be over-wintered and dug-in during the early spring. The spring to summer sown crop can be dug-in after 4-6 weeks, but will be at its best after 8-10 weeks, and must be dug in before flowering. Cut the Green Manure a few hours before digging in so that the top growth wilts, and dig the manure into the top 15cm (6") of soil. Once the Green Manure has been dug-in it must be allowed to completely rot down for between 2-4 weeks before the land can be used (dependent on the thickness of the growth). Pack coverage - approx. 3 sq metres (3.5 sq yards).. . . .
