<span class="link_user">@Rlovato777</span>, Yes, definitely!! It helped our veggies for this past summer, it helped retain the moisture some! It keeps the root zone nice and cool when it gets super hot. It also stops heavy rain from washing away good topsoil.. plus if you let it flower, it brings in beneficial bugs for natural pest control! You should def try it out!
<span class="link_user">@Rlovato777</span>, Thank you!! That other growth is clover cover crop! It’s an awesome tool for organic/living soil because it keeps the soil moist, prevents compaction, and naturally feeds the soil bacteria; super easy way to boost soil health/biology
