Description
Forage pea
Hardy and fast-growing, the forage pea excels as a spring green manure. As a nitrogen fixer and good producer of organic matter, the forage pea is an excellent precursor to summer crops such as cabbage, cucurbits, or solanaceous plants. In an intensive green manure cycle, it beautifully precedes buckwheat, whose growth is stimulated. Its stems remaining brittle, it is easy to bury with a rototiller.
Highly adaptable, peas can be sown from early May to early September.
Seeding rate: 2 kg/100 square meters or 2 kg/1076.39 square feet

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.
