Green Manure

Green Manure

Definition

noun

A crop grown to be cut down and returned to the soil to add organic matter and nutrients.

Interpretation

The crop that feeds the future. Green manure is growing for the good of others โ€” short-lived plants that become compost in place. Altruism with roots.

Living Invitation

Observe your garden or space โ€” is there room for a selfless sowing? Could you plant something purely to give back to the soil?
