I haven't used green manures before but have some I bought a while back from Franchi Seeds and want to sow. Have some beds I could sow in but also am wondering about sowing between some fruit trees. They are still young, three year old plum trees and I haven't looked after them very well so far - think they need some TLC - plus ground currently very weedy. Any opinions about green manure around/between them, or alternatively comfrey as a longer term plan - or cover ground between them with cardboard, manure etc? We don't yet have enough compost to mulch with that but have access to lots of manure.
