Green Up Your Act education – May Update

The Eco-club focus for this month has been making sure we are fully utilising all of the available growing space. Some of our raised beds don’t have the most fertile growing conditions, including some with a high clay content. The best solution to solve this problem is growing green manures, the plants are sown specifically to improve fertility, not only do they produce flowers to attract bees and butterflies, their roots break up the soil and they fix it’s nutrition.  We will dig in the foliage to nourish the beds for future fertile crops.
