Clover Rich Green Manure
Ref: MIXCCS3
The Clover Green Manure mixture is a blend of three annual legume species, they have been selected because they have similar establishment speeds and growth patterns. These clovers can convert atmospheric nitrogen and store it within nodules on the plant roots, allowing this available nitrogen to help feed the plant. While an amount of this 'fixed' nitrogen is shared with other plants surrounding the clover species, the majority of available nitrogen is released when the plant is terminated. Often making this a useful way of providing fertility and goodness for the next crop, especially hungry brassica species like Kale. This mixture contains beneficial soil microbes, which are a natural product that encourages plants to cycle key nutrients more efficiently, boosting growth, resilience, plant health and soil life.
