Mustard seed is a powerful tool for improving soil health and preparing your land for future potato crops. 
 
After a potato crop, planting mustard seeds as a cover crop can work wonders for your soil. 
It improves soil health, suppresses weeds, and deters pests like wireworms and nematodes, setting your soil up for success with future crops.
 
As a fast-growing green manure crop, mustard has a similar effect to mulching, improving soil structure, adding organic matter, providing fertility, and boosting micro-organism activity. 
 
The Benefits of Green Crops
 
Growing "green crops" or "cover crops" like mustard, and lupins is a fantastic way to fix your soil. These crops increase beneficial organisms, improve soil fertility, and control weeds.
 
The Mustard Plant
 
The mustard plant produces leafy greens, bright yellow flowers, and multiple seed pods.
