Green manures

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