The importance of winter cover crops
As your summer crops and
vegetables wind down it's
time to turn your attention to
planning for planting a winter
cover crop.
Cover crops are crops (grasses
or legumes) planted between,
or sometimes with, regular
crops primarily to protect and
improve the soil.
Planting a winter cover crop is
a great way to store solar
energy through the off-season
in your soil and build fertility
for the following year.
