An annual, deep-rooting plant, 50 cm high. The flower color is lilac-blue. Sow from March-June; allow them at least 2 months of growth. Lupine is able to bind nitrogen from the air and fixes nitrogen in the soil. Furthermore, this useful and ornamental species is also eaten: roasted, boiled (first soak for a long time and discard the soaking water) or crushed into flour: very rich in protein!
NOTE: LUPIN ALLERGY EXISTS, WHICH IS CLOSE TO NUT ALLERGY.
To avoid depleting your valuable soil, it is wise to occasionally leave the land fallow. During such a period, green manure is ideal: it introduces nutrients into the soil through often present nitrogen fixation; it suppresses weed growth, promotes bacterial life, provides humus, and in some cases, works against harmful nematodes.
