This is a snapshot of a patch of our cover crop in a section of our garden. I expect this to spread throughout the year we have other patches similar to this in our small side yard that we use for food. Cover crops are essential to organic sustainable gardening. Benefits include:
Organic Matter and Soil Structure.
Nitrogen Production.
Soil Microbial Activity.
Nutrient Enhancement.
Rooting Action.
Weed Suppression.
Soil and Water Conservation
