À propos oats

Oats can be sown in all types of soil, in all conditions, from early May to late September. Cultivated as green manure, this grass has soil-improving properties. It is increasingly used as autumn green manure. It perishes during winter, leaving a thin mat of yellowed oats on the ground the following spring, which is easy to bury. It helps reduce soil erosion and prevents the presence of weeds. A medicinal plant, also offered in 1/2 kg, 1 kg, and 2 kg in the green manures category.

Growing tips for green manures

Green manures are crops intended to be worked into the soil to increase fertility. Growing green manures has many benefits. Among other things, it allows you to prepare new land. Grown cyclically, green manures rest, enrich, and cleanse the soil. Established in the fall, they protect the soil from erosion and leaching and preserve its structure.
