Experienced summer residents know that it is easier to plant green manure on the site.

In August, you can plant mustard after onions or garlic. This plant will not only improve the composition of the soil, but also get rid of pests, weeds and attract pollinators.

However, when growing mustard, some features should be taken into account.

Gardeners note that it is advisable to cut the plant before it finishes flowering. If the weather outside is dry, you need to remember about watering. Without this, the crop will not be able to develop green mass properly and ripen.

The cut stems are suitable for compost, but you can leave them in the beds so that they continue to saturate the soil.
