Vetch is a leguminous, nitrogen fixating plant for nitrogen addition to the olive grove after its routing in the soil. Weeds do almost the same thing when routed in the soil but leguminous plants offer the most nitrogen par excellence when inserted in the soil. "Dung me or plant me"

Manure.

It would be advised not to add molasses because it attracts olive fruit flies.

The more profitable fertilizations for olive is chemical, manure and  boron.Nitrogen fixating plants,compost and integration of branches from pruning in the soil are of secondary importance and not necessary.

The best manures that you can use are:

1) Droppings chicken stock only packed  because packed not burns the olive tree.

2) Cow.

3) Sheep manure.

The manure is better incorporated into the soil than to remain on the surface.

When the olive oil is «turbid» and viscous, it probably comes from cold pression. The right temperature is found at the mixer T3 = 28,3^o C  (it's the closest temperature to 27^o C)

The left olive oil that is transparent comes from  hot-pressed extraction. The right one is «turbid» comes from cold extraction, which is more spicy and healthier.Both olive oils are from the same olive trees.The olives are gathered 14 and 15 October 2017.
