How do you sow white or yellow mustard outdoors?
Sow white or yellow mustard on a free plot in spring or late summer, according to your climate and seed packet instructions. Choose sufficiently moist soil, remove weeds and finely loosen the surface without waterlogging it.
For green manure, broadcast at the supplier's recommended rate, cover lightly and ensure seed-to-soil contact. Water with a fine spray if needed and monitor moisture during germination. For seed production, follow the sowing and spacing instructions for that purpose.
Plan the end of the crop from sowing: cut green manure before seed formation and allow enough time before the next crop. Avoid following mustard with cabbages or other brassicas. Examine any symptoms before choosing a response to disease or pests.
