San Antonio: This year’s garden was a dismal disappointment. Too hot. No rain. Except for peppers and cucumbers I’ll grow in 15 gallon containers and Earth Box Containers, I’ve decided to till up the garden with commercial purchased compost/manure plus peat moss. Then seed with a cover crop which will be tilled next Spring.
This is a large backyard garden plot. Which cover crop might you guys recommend?
Hello Racehorse . . . you might want to call your local Gardenville store to see what they recommend for your area. They’re usually very knowledgeable folks.
Depends. I have used rye, clover, and hairy vetch. Don’t mix the vetch with grains like winter wheat, though.
