What is green manure? Cover Crops | Soil Health | Green manure crops

What is green manure? Green manure is also known as cover crops. Cover crops are called green manure because they are so beneficial for the soil and the plants that you may want to grow.
Whether you’re a gardener or a farmer, green manure cover crops are an easy and inexpensive way to fertilize your garden, prevent weeds and provide flowers for pollinators. It's great for the environment because it encourages crop diversification, which all healthy ecosystems have.
Green manure is one of the techniques used in sustainable farming because it keeps the soil covered, thereby reducing runoff, which would otherwise go into waterways.
