cover crop is starting to really take over and fight for that light. Its also decreasing airflow and increasing humidity around the autos.. with this many budsites we want more airflow and less humidity. Today we chop and dropped the cover crop. This still allows us to have a grrat mulch layer that the worms will LOVE. They will eat the clover, instantly turn it to worm castings, and put the nutrients from that plant matter directly back into the soil. So cool right?! And the clover will grow right back, its a win win!
@Psilocubensis, absolutely they play a major role. Its all red clover. Brings in nitrogen from the air and brings it directly to your roots. Also allows the soil to maintain moisture longer and not dry out as fast. It also allows the worms to come higher up as well as your roots to almost the surface. Many many many benefits to a living mulch
