|    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?              --       fos@sdf.org       SDF Public Access UNIX System - https://sdf.org              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
