Green Manure Seeds

Green Manure is a valuable, natural fertiliser and soil conditioner and has an important part to play in organic gardening. It is a balanced mixture of silage grains which when sprinkled on your soil from spring to late summer very quickly grows into a lush dense green mass of young plants (takes only 3-6 weeks depending on the season). These plants when dug in will rot down quickly to add valuable nutrients and vegetable matter to your soil, both feeding it and improving its structure. Useful too if you practice rotation. Instead of leaving part of your ground fallow for a time, you can put it down to green manure to add nutrients and organic matter to tired soil.
