Green manure & bee plants

Green manures such as phacelia, white mustard, buckwheat and clover loosen the soil, smother weeds and add organic matter when dug in, while legumes also fix nitrogen. Many are also valuable bee plants, feeding honeybees and bumblebees.

Sow green manure after harvest or before the main crop, then cut and dig it in before it sets seed. Bee plants suit the garden edge or a separate patch. Order seeds from ALLIKASILM with delivery across Estonia and the EU.
