Growing Green Manure Seeds

The incorporation of green plant tissue into the soil is an ancient practice known as 'green manuring'. Green manures are fast-growing plants sown to cover bare soil: they can be used to disrupt pest and disease life cycles, suppress weeds and improve soil fertility.

Green manure seeds are often sown in late summer or autumn to help prevent vital nutrients being washed away with rainfall throughout the winter. When the green manure is dug back into the ground, they release their nutrients back into the earth, leading to healthier soil, more productive vegetable plants and higher-quality crops.

There are several types of manure seeds to choose from, each with their own benefits. Winter rye is particularly effective at improving soil structure, while legumes (like clover and certain varieties of bean seeds) are good for fixing nitrogen. Often, sowing a mixture of varieties will give the best results.
