   Garlic Bed Mulch Crop   
   01 Jul 22 12:18:04   
   
   in a couple weeks our garlic is ready for harvest. last year we   
   harvested the garlic, covered the bed with shredded straw to prevent   
   weeds, and didn't touch it again until early october a couple weeks   
   before planting more.   
      
   this year i'd like to grow a cover crop with the intention of   
   incorporating it by turning it into the soil as an amendment when   
   preparing for planting garlic again this fall.   
      
   growing zone 6. any suggestions for what to plant. fava bean roots   
   apparently help add nitrogen to the soil. is doing this even   
   recommended, or is it not a good thing to do?
