What’s the latest buzz about Clover Cover Crops? Today’s blog is a short one. We noticed that the last few years our vegetable garden lacks vitality. Over the summer we added many soil conditioners and increased our fertilizer use, but things didn’t change much.
However, trying to improve next year’s harvest we recently checked with our local garden center. They suggested adding nutrients and organic matter back into the soil. Planting a clover cover crop is a good way to improve the overall health of the garden, and the ecosystem.
Also, of note, a garden is affected by a variety of things such as too much rain or lack of rain, insect infestations, plant disease, birds and other hungry animals, etc. However, planting a cover crop is one thing we can control.
How to Plant a Crimson Clover Cover Crop
So, we took their advice and purchased a small bag of Crimson Clover seeds to plant over the winter in our vegetable garden plot.
It is easy to plant a clover cover crop. Clover crops are planted in the spring or fall. The seeds are spread and raked lightly to cover with soil. We had lots of rain so far this fall, so we did not need to water them.
