Green Manure
« on: April 03, 2013, 12:06 »
What plants benefit the most from nitrogen fixing green manure eg field beans?

I was going to plant potatoes in the bed, but thought I'd ask first.
When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !
