green manure

[Lancelot]

Hi all

Im new to this forum and pretty new to allotment life ( its my first full year on the plot)

Weeds have been a major problem to control and i have been advised to use
mustard seeds as a green manure to keep the weeds down and revitalise the land,


Question is when do i dig them in? when they are in full flower or
when they have died and rotted on the plot.

some feedback would be great cheers Terry.
