For the last few years we've been using cover crops when we have empty beds. This is Buckwheat that we broadcast onto this bed after we harvested our edamame.

I love this system. The Buckwheat acts a green manure. Saves us from having to haul compost to the beds.

In no-dig gardening, never leave soil bare! Keep it covered with crops or green manures like crimson clover in spring or winter field beans in autumn. After growth, chop & drop as mulch. This feeds soil life, suppresses weeds & protects structure. 🌱 #NoDig #GreenManure #SoilHealth
