In this episode of Hort Culture, we'll talk about summer cover crops and how they can benefit your plantings. Cover crops are plants that you grow in between your main crops to improve the soil, suppress weeds, and attract beneficial insects. Some examples of summer cover crops are buckwheat, cowpea, sunflower, and sorghum. We'll discuss how to choose the right cover crop for your situation and soil type, and how to incorporate them into your garden plan. Tune in to learn more!
