Sowing Green Manure

Our committee learned about green manure today with Marianne. 

​Green manures are fast-growing plants sown to cover bare soil.

Often used in the vegetable garden, their foliage smothers weeds and their roots prevent soil erosion. When dug into the ground while still green, they return valuable nutrients to the soil and improve soil structure.

After growing so many things in our beds, they needed some rejuvenation!

Thanks again to Marianne for her ongoing support.
