- When grown as green manure, catch crops add nutrients to the soil.

How to grow catch crops
If the main crop – strawberry, cabbage, potatoes or whatever plant you mainly grew – has borne fruit and been picked up, sow a catch crop.
- It is necessary to sow tightly so that a large biomass is formed.
- For better germination, sowing can be covered with a covering veil.
- The catch crop remains on the bed for the winter, he does not need to be picked up from the bed.
- Dig in the catch crop before sowing the next main crop or cover with compost or soil.
- This is how natural green fertilizer is formed from the catch crop.
- A wintering catch crop is dug in, which would begin to grow again in the spring.
