Like many, I didn't think much of this idea of planting a cover crop, at first .. 'What am I going to do - plant something that I do not intend to harvest, that is going to sit there in the ground and feed all winter?" But the more I learned about what is REALLY going on down there at the root level, the more I became convinced: NOT letting something grow through the winter would just leave the soil biome stunted at the beginning of Spring .. and without fertilizers to kickstart growth, it would take more time for bare soil to become productive. It is not a matter of plants feeding on the soil nutrients .. it is a matter of keeping the soil fed .. and the soil will feed the plants all on its own!
But .. what do you think? Does the cover cropped soil look better or worse than the bare soil, or the fallow soil?
