Hi 👌🏼🌸I’m coming from Rob’s @ Essayons family garden, because he mentioned you said there were veggies on sale and went to get some . I really enjoyed this video because I have clay soil and have heard about this before. I will be buying it from you !
Hi Renee, thanks for another great video. I'm faced with a bit of a dilemma. I planted a cover crop in my garden beds. Right now they are about 10" tall. After planting and germination, I found a source for leaves so I ordered 18 cubic feet of leaves for my 1100 sq. ft. garden. I have pretty good soil, originally hard clay, as I have taken care of it for years. So, here's my dilemma: Although I am composting a good portion of the leaves, I still have probably 12-15 cubic yards of shredded (once) leaves to deal with. I was thinking about putting the rest of my shredded leaves on my garden walks, letting the cover crop grow in my beds until, terminating it in the spring. Then I could rake shredded leaves onto my beds after I plant. My second option would be to terminate my cover crop right now and cover the beds with shredded leaves. Which option would you choose?
You can finish out your cover crop and then just turn it into the soil after it's done. It fertilizes the soil that way. Of course, don't wait too long for it to go to seed before doing that. Check out our other videos on the subject.
Ok so what if you had a summer crop but now wanna do a fall crop?? Would you use cover crops the do fall crops or would you just till the summer crop for the fall crop?? I’m only asking because I’m trying to learn thanks again❤
Why do u turn this into the soil thereby disturbing all the pathways the micorhizal fungi have established with the cover crop? Isn’t it better just to chop and drop? Also, ever plant a cover crop while u are growing a main crop for added diversity of bacteria and fungi during the season?

I wonder if my chickens could eat this if I cut it back for them!?!?! I'll have to look into that. Dual purpose if they can!
Hey Friend! Thank you very much! Like 10 and sub.
I'm interested in your container vegetable seeds

Make sure to watch our other cover crop videos for other methods
Can you explain what the scatter can is!? Is it home made etc?
It's a product we sell. One canister full of different kinds of seeds that you scatter.
