The meaning of Humus: growing plants to bring the soil to life!

After one growing season, when the majority of vegetable plants such as tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, watermelons, cabbages, zucchinis, etc. have been harvested, what is left of the "biomass" to fertilize the soil? In fact, there's very little left to make compost, which is essential for soil life.

Because carbon is Life, but also because it's necessary to keep the soil permanently covered in the vegetable garden, this selection of plants useful to the soil offers a range of species with high yields of carbon-rich biomass, suitable for intermediate crops or end-of-season mulches, to re-fertilize cultivated areas of the garden. Each of these plants also offers an abundance of grains for making flour, semolina, oil, etc.
