Grass Cover Crops

Green manures can be grown in the same year as a vegetable crop, such as a cover crop of white clover planted around a cole crop. Spring arrival brings re-growth that can be turned under as a green manure.

Winter wheat is an exceptional, inexpensive and fast growing cover crop that suppresses weeds and disease with its allelopathic effect. When fall sown, it grows quickly and overtakes fall weeds, then as the cold days of winter begin, it goes dormant.

In addition to this benefit, legume green manures (peas, beans, clovers, favas and vetch) act as a host for the bacteria that fix and make nitrogen available for your vegetable or fruit crops.

Green manures can be grown in the same year as a vegetable crop, such as a cover crop of white clover planted around a cole crop. For maximum nitrogen yields, legumes should be incorporated into the soil at peak bloom.

Soil-dwelling fungi and bacteria work to break down organic matter. They can also be grown as a perennial in orchards and vineyards. Nutrient cycling affects both the physical and chemical properties of the soil.

Nematode Control is the most effective marigold for controlling root knot and lesion nematodes. Nematodes are difficult to control after they have attacked your crops but easy to prevent with this marigold.

Recommended seeding rate: 2-3 pounds per 1000 square feet; 100 pounds per acre. Recommended seeding rate: 3-4 pounds per 1000 square feet; 70-150 pounds per acre. Other brassica species release chemical compounds that may be toxic to soil borne pathogens...
