Hello, I'm new here. What a great forum!
I haven't used green manures before. I use straw mulch and a no-till system.
I'd like to hear more about using the green manure right along with the
growing veggies. I've heard a lot about using green manures for
overwintering (I'm in Zone 8), but I don't know much about using them during
the growing season.
Thanks,
Lee Lawton
