Green manure cultivation in Autumn mist

Green manure is the targeted cultivation of plants that are usually grown after or between two crops in order to improve the humus and nutrient content of the soil. Originally, this cultivation of so-called catch crops comes from classic arable farming. For example, after harvesting barley or new potatoes in July or early August, fast-growing plants such as phacelia or field mustard can be sown before the field is tilled with rye or wheat from October
