Organic Green Fertilizers

ITEM#

RESENGVERAVO1KG-Config

Green fertilizers, often unfamiliar to gardeners, are essential to organic farming. Used as temporary ground cover, they enrich the soil with minerals essential for vegetable crops. They weaken and smother weeds, prevent erosion, leaching, and soil drying. These plants improve soil quality and structure, enrich it with organic matter, and produce reserves of potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen. The flowering of green fertilizers attracts many insects and pollinators, thus breaking the cycle of diseases. Left on the surface after mowing, they form excellent mulch. When buried, they facilitate water infiltration into the soil. Green fertilizers improve soil health, promote biodiversity, and increase crop productivity in an ecological and sustainable manner.
