Most of my seed packets are the variety 'Wando," which has grown well for me in the past.<br /><br />I would never have thought to use a normal vegetable crop as a cover crop if I hadn't read Dick Raymond's book "The Joy of Gardening." In it, he describes an experimental garden plot that is productive even though he never adds nitrogen to it. Instead, each part of the garden is planted with some kind of peas or beans twice each year, and that provides enough nitrogen to support a third crop of some other kind of vegetable.<br /><br />Happy to hear that you are enjoying your spot at Green Meadows Preserve! It's really a great place for a community garden. -AmyAmy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14108368551894382300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134341373474313620.post-72298159066844511662014-03-09T03:41:19.207-04:002014-03-09T03:41:19.207-04:00Hi Amy, May I ask what type of peas you use for co...Hi Amy, May I ask what type of peas you use for cover cropping? Does one particular type serve the soil better over another? Wow you certainly got a lot done today. I went to the community garden and just stood and stared at my "Field of Dreams". Best day ever!
