Soil maintenance: all types of well-worked soil. Rake. Even out.

Sowing: sow and rake on the surface, pack (lead) lightly and water.

Use: the flowering fallow is a real reserve of useful insects and pollinators and used as green manure, it will be the basis of a nutritive contribution for the following plantations.

Incorporation of the green manure into the soil: the destruction of the green manure is done by crushing which accelerates the decomposition. Incorporate it into the soil with a tool with teeth or discs in the first 25 centimeters because the surface micro-organisms (bacteria, azotobacter) will ensure its decomposition. It is preferable that the incorporation in the soil is carried out between 30 to 50 days before the following culture, (the delay will have to be longer for the direct sowing than for the plantations).
