What are green manures ?

Green manures are different plants intended to improve the structure of a soil, to protect it from bad weather and erosion, and to promote the development of life ... Thus making this soil more fertile.

​

When can we sow them?

Green manures are sown in the fall or early spring.

From February to April with grubbing in May-June. Spring green manures are plants that cannot withstand periods of extreme cold. You can also use green spring manure during the summer.

From August to November (depending on your region) Fall green manures are more resistant to cold, they are sown in late summer or early fall. They germinate before the onset of winter and continue their growth in the spring with a pulling up in May, June of the following year.
