Mustard
There have been a lot of 'firsts' this year and this is my first ever attempt at growing 'green manure'. We've had another dry spell and it's only just starting to get going so we'll see. I'm hoping it will suppress the weeds, especially that 'always-ready-to-pop-up-and-seed' gallant soldier.
I chose mustard and now read that this should not be followed by brassicas 'as it could encourage build up of the disease clubroot'. Luckily, I'm pretty sure the brassicas are going elsewhere next year but in future I'll sow something else, like red clover.
