Plants for green manure to improve soil quality
Green manures are a natural method of improving soil quality in the garden by sowing specific plant species—such as legumes and brassicas—which are cultivated for a limited period and then incorporated into the soil before flowering. This practice enhances soil structure, promotes water retention and biological activity, enriches the soil with nitrogen and other nutrients, and helps to suppress weeds, pests, and diseases.

The process is straightforward: after sowing in spring or autumn, the plants are dug into the soil before they begin to flower.
By using green manures, not only is the soil protected, but a healthy ecosystem is also supported, ultimately leading to improved crop yields. It is an effective and sustainable way to naturally enrich the garden and maintain soil fertility in the long term.
