This fall we also prepared one of our other patches for next season by planting a crop of Kodiak Mustard. Kodiak contains extremely high levels of glucosinolates. Glucosinolates are natural chemical agents that make certain members of the brassica family spicy. Glucosinolates deliver a deadly punch to soil borne pathogens and weeds, making them an effective, all-natural alternative to chemicals. Mustard is very easy to plant and grow:
Kodiak Mustard: 8-ounces per 1,000 sq ft.
Rake in or very lightly till.
Lightly irrigate.
6-8 weeks till flowering (depending on season).
Chop mustard to break up cells to release glucosinolates.
Till under and water to form a crust and release gas
Must wait three weeks till planting another crop.
