Green Manure Soil Restore Blend

Using a green manure blend for soil restoration boosts microbial activity, fosters beneficial fungi and bacteria and helps to remove atmospheric carbon. This approach not only regenerates tired or compacted soils but also improves water retention and crop performance in subsequent plantings. In essence, diverse green manures mimic natural plant communities, leading to more balanced and productive soil systems, reduced input reliance and a more sustainable approach to gardening and growing.

Our soil restoration green manure blend composed of brassicas (kohlrabi, mustard, kale), legumes (clover, tic bean, vetch, lupin), cereals (wheat, oats, barley), ryegrass, radish, beets, sunflower, and marigold offers a powerful, sustainable tool for regenerating degraded soils. This diverse mix enhances soil structure, fertility and biological activity, promoting long-term soil health and productivity.

Brassicas like mustard, kale and kohlrabi help break up compacted soils with their deep taproots while also suppressing pests through natural biofumigation. Legumes such as clover, lupin and vetch fix atmospheric nitrogen, enriching the soil with this essential nutrient and reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers. Cereals and ryegrass provide dense root networks that improve soil aggregation, prevent erosion and increase organic matter.

Radish and beets scavenge nutrients from deep soil layers, bringing them closer to the surface for future crops. Sunflowers contribute biomass and support pollinators, while marigolds help suppress harmful nematodes and support biodiversity.

The collective action of these species builds resilient soil ecosystems capable of withstanding drought, heavy rain and disease pressure.
