Author Content davis1676 Disputanta, VA (Zone 7a) October 31, 2009 09:03 PM Post #7228586 I was thinking about beefing up my garden soil by planting a cover crop. I may be too late in thinking about it but I hope not. Someone suggested fava beans or hairy vetch but anything considered a cover crop would probably help. Any suggestions or thoughts?

If you have a seed packet, see what that suggests for your location.

I was determined to get something in. Thanks!
