Hello DG Family:

Garden season is coming to a close for me. I've still got tomatoes coming by the basket fulls, but my corn is finished. I am starting to do some research on cover crops for the fall.

I have read that rye grass is a good cover crop and that legumes are a good cover crop. I am looking for something that will grow through the winter months. Has anyone done cover crops? If so, what did you use, and did you till it into the ground in spring, or kill it with a contact herbicide?

I need as much information as possible. I am (as I write this) doing a google search on it.

Thanks so much in advance!

Noobs
