General Mix Green Manure Seeds |
|
This general seed mix consists of Forage Rye, Minerva Maple Peas and English Early Common Vetch and is a good all round green manure, especially for those who are new to green manuring and are a little unsure which one to use.
It provides a mix of bulky foliage adding organic matter, plants with nitrogen fixing properties and it can be used over winter to help prevent soil erosion and nutrient leaching. It's also ood for short-term green manuring.
Forage Rye is one of the best manures for winter use, as it gives a good crop cover to help prevent nutrient leaching and is a hardy annual. The tares also produces a lot of bulky foliage that improves the soils fertility as it fixes nitrogen and helps add organic matter, improving the texture of the soil and suppresses weeds. Minerva Maple Peas fix a lot of nitrogen too.
