This fast-growing, very vigorous, warm season grass produces an enormous amount of biomass, loosens hard soil, and suppresses weeds. When these soil microorganisms eat organic matter, nutrients are released back into the soil in a form that is usable...
Growing legumes and incorporating them back into the soil increases the organic carbon content, and improves the soil fertility and water holding capacity of the soil. As part of a long-term rotation plan, cover crops can provide a stable habitat within...
Oats' fast spring growth makes it ideal for erosion control and adds quick organic matter to the soil. When these soil microorganisms eat organic matter, nutrients are released back into the soil in a form that is usable by plants.
