Cover Crops

I love the use of a cover crop. Cover crops really help to improve your soil....just plant it during late summer or early fall let grow and turn under when spring arrives. You can get many at your garden supply store...you might have to ask for it.

My favorite cover crops are:

hairy vetch

barley

oats

winter rye

wheat


Here are a few that can be planted in the spring and can be carried over until the next spring.

alfalfa

clover

sweet clover

This will improve your soil for many years to come.

Happy Gardening,
