Cover crops
About cover crops ... I'll inevitably have a some sections of my raised beds empty now and then, in-between spring and fall crops especially. I'd like to use a cover crop in summer, and again in late fall and through the winter. Turning the cover crops under would need to be done with hand tools, but I'd be doing only a small area at one time. From what I've read, buckwheat is a good cover crop for summer, and annual rye for winter. I can buy them very cheaply at local farm supply stores. Does anyone have experience with these? Unforeseen problems to warn me about? Other recommendations? Thanks. Pat |
