Description

Green Manure Mustard White

White Mustard is prized above all for its speed. It germinates within days and races away to form a dense, leafy canopy that outcompetes weeds almost as soon as it's up, making it ideal for filling a short gap between crops when there's no time to spare.

As a brassica it isn't a nitrogen fixer, but it's an excellent scavenger of nutrients left over in the soil from a previous crop, locking them up in its foliage rather than letting them wash away, and releasing them back once it's dug in.

It's frost tender and will be killed off by the first cold snap, which makes it a naturally self-terminating cover if you run out of time to incorporate it before winter.

Common Questions

How quickly does Green Manure Mustard White grow? It's one of the fastest green manures around, capable of putting on substantial ground-covering growth within four to six weeks of sowing.

Does White Mustard fix nitrogen like a clover or vetch? No - as a brassica it doesn't fix nitrogen, but it's very effective at scavenging nutrients already present in the soil and holding on to them until it's dug in.

What happens to Mustard White if it's not dug in before winter? It's frost tender and will be killed off by the first hard frost, so if you can't get to it in time it will die back naturally rather than becoming a persistent weed problem.
