5 Cover Crops to Plant in September to Protect Your Soil All Winter

STOP LEAVING YOUR GARDEN SOIL BARE THIS SEPTEMBER. After the harvest, your garden still needs protection before winter arrives. In this video, I share 5 simple cover crops that can help protect bare soil, reduce spring work and improve the condition of your garden beds. We will look at mustard, phacelia, rye, vetch and oilseed radish, including when each one can be useful and an important mistake to avoid when planning next year’s crops. You will also learn a simple old-fashioned routine for sowing cover crops without expensive products or complicated equipment. Whether you have a small vegetable garden or a larger growing area, September can be a useful time to prepare the soil for the next season. Instead of leaving your beds empty, give them a simple job through autumn and winter and make spring easier for yourself. #CoverCrops #SeptemberGardening #SoilHealth #FallGardening #GardeningTips #VegetableGarden #GardenSoil #OrganicGardening #GardeningForBeginners
