Good thing we are not growing Garlic Mustard in the patch. This might be why some people plant this as a cover crop to kill the bad nematodes. Everything in the wrong quantity can be toxic. Dihydrogen monoxide is one of those things. If you ask me Mycoman is Giant Jack.

Many forms of mustard are used as natural biofumigants. For the most part, to get maximum effect, they have to be flail mowed and the pressed into the ground. If you just had it growing neat it, I don't think it would have the same effect.

A variety of mustard called Caliente 119 (Rupp Seeds) is frequently used for this purpose.
