More and more good reviews are being left by gardeners about green manure. But beginners have questions about the order of further actions..
Everyone knows that upon reaching a certain period, mustard, phacelia, cereals and other crops are mown down, and the shoots are buried in the soil..
But when it comes to fall or winter, other techniques are used.
Bed in the soil
1. In the fall or before winter, green manure is buried in the soil if sowing winter crops is planned.
2. The same should be done if the fall is dry and hot.
3. Green manure is buried in the soil if we are talking about sandy soil.
But it is believed that in all these cases, it is necessary to leave the shoots mown in the sun so that they wither and dry out, after which you can begin work.
No need to cover
As for the alternative point of view, summer residents say that dense sowing and leaving the seedlings on the beds untouched has certain advantages.
The seedlings do not allow weeds to grow, protect the soil from cold winds in the winter with little snow, and by spring they have time to dry out in any case and are easy to cover with soil during spring plowing.
