Anderwood said:Dandelions, lambs quarters, comfrey and borage are all dynamic accumulators. Chop them down and leave them on your beds or put them in your compost. They take up many nutrients from the soil and release them when they decompose.


I was at the nursery these week buying some half price seeds and saw clover seeds for cover crops. I so wanted to buy them to sprinkle all over our back yard which is st Augustine, bare spots (caused by fertilizer burn from where the spreader is rinsed) and some weeds. My husband, who is a lawn maintenance guy, probably wouldn't be too happy. 😱 Maybe he'd be okay though since it's just the back yard.
