2 Empty vegetable plots – by now some vegetable crops will have completed their cycle of life and given you a bumper harvest, hopefully. You may be wondering what you can plant now to give you some benefits rather than leaving the plot empty. Green manure is the answer – sown over the next few weeks, the green manure will germinate and grow into strong young plants that can survive our winters. In late winter, these crops can be ‘harvested’ as a cut crop for composting or can be dug into the soil to rot down and provide valuable organic matter. Look out for seed of Italian ryegrass, mustard, fodder radish, buckwheat, fenugreek, field beans, vetch and Phacelia. Visit www.gardenorganic.org.uk and www.organiccatalogue.com for more ideas. Read
