Green Manure development
The green manure crop sown late summer last year has started to put a bit of growth on. The species you see here are clover re and white and the large leaf is chicory.
The gras is mainly colts foot which has a smaller to but produces a large root mass. This is converted to humus after cultivation. The area seen here is going to be the leek and onion area, but first will be grazed for a week or more to improve incorporation rates.
