For best results, prepare the ground by digging, weeding and raking into a fine seed bed. Before incorporating, make sure that the mixture is chopped into a fine mulch by using a rotary mower or strimmer. Leave the mulch on the surface to wilt for a few hours before digging in the top 15cm (6\") of soil and allow to rot down for between 2-3 weeks before using the land. Mix: Rye and Vetch. A mixture of species usually provides better results than just a single one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suttons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420905316739,"sku":"169522","price":3.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/9615\/0321\/files\/green-manure-seed.webp?v=1771701959","url":"https:\/\/www.jimsdiy.co.uk\/products\/suttons-green-manure-winter-mix-seeds","provider":"Jim's DIY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
