Cover Crops Rebuild Soil in Bare Home Garden Beds
Gardeners are being reminded that leaving beds bare over downtime strips soil of nutrients, and that planting cover crops can rebuild it. Fast-growing green manures such as clover, rye or vetch protect the surface, suppress weeds and return organic matter when turned in before planting season. The practice, long standard on farms, is catching on among home growers looking to restore tired vegetable beds cheaply.
Why now: Home gardeners are preparing beds between seasons and looking for low-cost ways to restore depleted soil.
