How to use green manure crops to improve soil quality?

My 2 hexis have such dry, dirt (not soil). I know it needs fertilizer and a generous amount of new planting soil. But what or how do I plant a 'green' crop? Is it to rest the soil, in my case dirt, or when the 'green' crop is finished, do I then dig it into the soil? Thank You. ps they need all the help they can get.

Hello @Catnipmanor1234 

 

Let me tag @mich1972 to make them aware of your question. I believe that "eddies" is short for "edibles" otherwise known as plants that can be consumed.
