March is not only the time of hardening seedlings before planting in the ground, but also the preparation of beds in the country, their feeding and improvement.
The resource “House and Garden Plot” shares the experience of sowing mustard in order to prepare the land for the season without the use of chemistry.
Siderat enriches the earth with nitrogen and phosphorus and other macro and microelements. Mustard is also useful because it grows quickly and does not allow other weeds to develop. Pests do not like this plant - wire, snails, codling moth disappear. It cleans the soil from putrefactive microorganisms, scab and phytophthora.
Mustard is advised to apply before planting potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers. But where cabbage, turnip, radish will be planted, it is not recommended to sow it - they suffer from the same diseases.
You can sow mustard immediately after the snow has melted - it easily tolerates frosts down to -5 ° C.
It is sown in a continuous way, better - in rows every 10-15 cm. The seeding rate is 300-400 grams per 1 hectare of land.
Mustard germinates in 3-5 days at a temperature of 10 degrees. If there is not enough moisture, the plant must be watered by sprinkling. And after a month you can mow a greenish mass. This is done when the height of the plant is more than 15 cm. It is important not to miss the moment so that the mustard does not outgrow - it coarsens and forms seeds.

I am currently working as a news website author at Daily News Hack. I mostly cover trending news and have been doing so for quite some time now. I have always had a keen interest in current affairs and the world around me, which is what led me to my current job.
I firmly believe that the best way to learn about something is by doing it yourself and that is why I love my job so much. It allows me to be constantly learning about new things and then sharing that knowledge with others.
I am also a big believer in the power of networking and building relationships. I think that LinkedIn is a great platform for connecting with like-minded people from all over the world.
