green manure - phacelia vs vicia
« on: August 11, 2007, 13:44 »
Dear All,

I am thinking of growing a green manure on 2 beds which I have just harvested. Do I leave it to grow over the winter? And do I dig the whole plant 'in' in the spring? Or do I dig in at the end of the summer?

many thanks.
trying to be organic...

Depends what it is.

What is it?

Could be lupins, sunflowers, rye or mustard...
Growing salad leaves isn't rocket science.
