Winter 'Green' manures
« on: November 20, 2013, 10:50 »
Just about to take on my first plot :) :)  Going to look at it this Saturday...apparently a choice of two!! Anyway I may decide to grow some 'Winter manure' to keep in any goodness over winter months. Could anybody recommend any particular 'type' please?

I think you are too late to sow any of them now, they're usually sown before the end of October.
A little guidance here
