Cover Crops

Supplies & Gifts

Cover cropping is the sustainable practice of planting grains and legumes on fallow ground. They protect bare soils from exposure to reduce soil erosion, supress weeks, build biomass to improve the overall soil structure, and fix nitrogren. Try to pull, cut, or flatten cover crop before it releases seeds, and always 1 to 2 weeks before planting.
