What green manures to sow in the garden and greenhouse in spring

Fertilization of the soil is a burning issue for all summer residents. Traditionally, it is believed that the better the soil is fertilized, the more harvest can be expected. This is partly true, however, it is worth fertilizing the soil at the summer cottage without much fanaticism.

Today we will dwell on which green manures need to be sown in the garden and in the greenhouse in spring.

Siderata

In horticulture, siderates should be understood as plants that are socially planted for embedding in the soil. It is believed that with the help of green manure, the structure of the soil is significantly improved, it is enriched with nitrogen from plants, and most importantly, the growth of weeds is slowed down.

In addition, organic matter in the form of microelements from plants gets into the soil and therefore the yield increases.

Sowing

In order to be in time for everything in the summer season, it is necessary to plant green manure in early spring after snow. You can start in March, but consider the weather in your area.

You can sow the seeds by continuous sowing or plant them in a hole. We recommend pre-mixing the seeds with sand to increase germination.

If you use a greenhouse, then we recommend that you start sowing green manure about 5-6 weeks before planting the seedlings themselves, that is, with the help of a greenhouse, the process of their growth is accelerated.

What green manure to sow

Among the wide variety of cultures, not all of them are considered green manure. It is worth paying attention to legumes (peas), cereals (oats), buckwheat and mustard. These crops are considered the most effective in this matter.

In addition, it is necessary to bury green manures in the ground 7-10 days before planting the plants so that they enrich the soil with microelements and create favorable conditions for growth.

If you plant the plants early, then by May, namely during the planting period of root crops, tomatoes, cucumbers and other crops - siderates can already be used, since they will have time to grow greens.
