If you want to use cover crops but aren't sure where to start, keep reading. Easy places you can use cover crops are in your vegetable gardens and raised beds. You can plant the cover crops between your harvest crops to get better crop yields.
What cover crops should you use? It depends on your problems and goals. To make it easy, use the Cover Crop Decision Tool from the Midwest Cover Crop Council. In the tool, you will input your location and your goals. It will then tell you what cover crops will suit you and when to plant them.
Where can I buy cover crop seeds? You can purchase cover crop seeds from a few places including Ernst Seeds and OPN Seeds. If you are working with a larger plot and need a bulk option, consider Walnut Creek Seeds.
