COVER CROPS FOR VEGETABLE GARDEN

The vegetable garden at the Arboretum has been cleaned up for the season.  This week crimson clover was planted in the raised beds.  Read this article to learn how cover crops help build rich garden soil.  Our vegetable garden contributed well over 700 pounds of produce for the local food bank.  We grew a large variety of food in a small space.  The crimson clover will grow over the winter until we are ready to till it under in the spring and begin planting again.
