aka Green Crop

Green Crop. Planting Lupin seeds in your garden is an economical and natural way to help control weeds and replace lost nutrients, especially nitrogen, in the soil. Plant in autumn, grow through winter and then mulch Lupin plants into the soil late winter/early spring.

Apply 30g per square metre of soil. Dig into the soil when Lupins reach approximately 50cm high and before they flower. Ideally this should be done about 4 to 6 weeks before planting your vegetable garden.
