Sprinkled my garden with hairy vetch seed. Wasn’t sure when to plant it, but read somewhere it was a good winter green fertilizer.

It is, but it can be invasive, so till it back in as soon as you can in the spring...or this fall if weather conditions are dry enough and it stays warmer down by you.

‘Round here, our DNR actually has an irradication program for the stuff. Stupid Hippies planted it all over the place in their organic gardens, and people were using it for errosion control on hillside slopes.

Yeah, it’ll hold the soil on the side of the hill...and then travel up, down and AROUND the hill, LOL!
