The cheapest Siderata for the site, which have a stunning effect

From time to time I fertilize my garden plot with green manure. Siderata are plants that improve soil composition. They enrich the soil with nitrogen and other useful microelements, eradicate weeds, make the soil looser, and improve its moisture permeability.

For myself, I have identified several types of such green manure plants. You don't need to spend a lot of money on them, but they do their job perfectly. As they say: cheap and cheerful!

1. Mustard

This plant can be sown throughout the summer cottage season, as well as before winter. The mustard fully ripens in 2 months. We mow, plow the land. After a couple of weeks, we plant the crop we need at this place.

Also, this green manure can be planted to plants of the nightshade family: to tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplants. Mustard helps a lot in the fight against scab and late blight - diseases that nightshades are susceptible to.

This green manure protects well from weeds and gives shade to young shoots of vegetable crops. The only thing that should not be planted after or next to mustard is cabbage.

These plants "conflict" with each other and the cabbage harvest will be poor. Or it won't be there at all.

2. Peas

Peas are rich in vegetable protein and nitrogen. Therefore, its greens are so beneficial for the soil. It saturates the soil with useful microelements, protects it from diseases and weeds.

An excellent organic fertilizer is obtained from peas, which is not inferior in properties to manure. The only nuance in growing this green manure is that it requires high humidity. It needs to be watered daily.

3. Oats

This cereal contains a large amount of phosphorus and potassium. It is good to sow it in combination with peas, but it will work just as well. Oats have a strong root system that loosens the soil well.

Also, its roots contain substances that fight against root rot pathogens, with various fungal diseases.

Due to the fact that the grain grows in a dense heap, it does not allow weeds to multiply. Oats grow well on any land and require little maintenance.

4. Buckwheat

This green manure is suitable for any soil. Its root loosens the soil well and protects it from pathogenic bacteria. Buckwheat perfectly retains moisture in the soil.

It also attracts pollinating insects during flowering. Buckwheat soil is an excellent source of potassium and nitrogen.
