Additional Information:
Mustard and Phacelia produce a very quick growing Green Manure crop. Ideal for sowing on any cleared or unused ground to suppress weeds and improve soil texture. Shallow sow on to a firm, well prepared seedbed. After 4 - 8 weeks of growth chop down the plants and cultivate into the top few inches of your soil. On sandy ground let the crop reach 40cm (18 inches) in height or wait for the first flowers to appear before digging in. This will produce more fibrous plant matter which can help very free draining soils retain more moisture and nutrients.
