Leaf Beet 'Avalon' / 'Skyfall'

  • Product number: 390135
  • Origin: Eurasia
  • Latin: Brassica rapa var silvestris

A fast-growing green manure, which both large and small livestock also love. The plants are very frost-resistant. Mowing and composting in spring is a convenient option for the small garden. The leaves are, of course, also suitable for human consumption: slightly spicy!
100 g is for 100-200 m²

To avoid depleting your valuable soil, it is wise to let it lie fallow occasionally. During such a period, green manure is ideal: it suppresses weed growth, promotes bacterial life, provides humus, and in some cases, works against harmful nematodes.

Names:
Latin: Brassica rapa var silvestris
