Rye
Rye is a cereal grain widely cultivated throughout the world. But did you know that it can also be used as green manure in your vegetable garden? It is an ecological agricultural practice that helps improve soil fertility by nourishing and protecting it.
Rye is a good green manure choice because it has deep roots that help loosen the soil. Its roots penetrate the lower layers of the earth, contributing to the biodegradation of organic matter and the formation of cracks, thus allowing better circulation of air and water in the soil. Additionally, rye is known for its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen through a symbiotic association with bacteria that live in its roots. This means it enriches the soil with nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plant growth.
