White Mustard
« on: September 27, 2017, 07:54:16 »
Using this as a green manure.. it has grown away really well, now waist high.. can we eat it? I know it is edible.. I've tried a bit, we deliberately grow red mustard as a winter salad.. is our white mustard a real crop anywhere?  :wave:

Take a crop and mow the rest, working lightly into the soil.maybe cover with black polythene.
