| I want to put a winter cover crop in my garden this fall but not sure what to use. I heard about using crimson clover or red clover. Would these work in Wisconsin weather? or is there a better cover crop to use in Wisconsin? |
| Clover would be good. Vetch is good also. Any kind of lugume will build up nitrogen. Plus add green matter when tilled under in spring. 😎😎😎 |
| Oats and Barley are also good options. |
| TulipStella; hello from Pueblo West Co. Cover crops are an all around bargain and can be used anytime. Depending on your needs and soil type or even insect infestation. I think the best place to look would be locally after asking other users. If you're just wanting to purchase something for biomass and nitrogen fixation, then IMO Territorial Seed is your best bet. They even have a ' polar cover crop'. I have come to look for plants that will do most of my work for me. Cover crops have amended and fertilized my soil, and in a couple of weeks, they will be tilling it too. Anywho, I hope this helps. Now if you will please excuse me, I'm going to shoot my computer.
