When the rain stops sow summer green manure seeds

Plant green manure seeds from now on to get a fleshy green crop for summer incorporation. May and June are the ideal months to get any bare earth covered with fast growing green cover to add organic matter and suppresses weeds. Legumes such as sweet clover and crimson clover offer nitrogen fixation and have deep penetrating roots too which improves the structure of your soil.
