Green Manure – In the pursuit of Quality
But, as the biodynamic eye and senses became more trained, I became less happy with the overall look, and quality, of the green manure as well as with the individual plants in the green manure. With sowing so heavily the plants were too close together, forced upright in the competition for light, with no plant expression and with dying and yellowing off underneath due to lack of light. Also there was too much competition of the plant roots, with no plant showing that refined root development that Alex speaks of, and that was evident in the vegetables being grown.
