Hi, Ron! I’ve been told to stay away from grain cover crops because they will attract the wireworms, which I’m trying to get rid of. . . Thanks for the suggestion. Dorene From: market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Ron McElwain Could you get two months out of winter rye? It works well for us between hills of pumpkins to suppress weeds, it goes away late summer so you don't get a lot of biomass, and you could follow it with buckwheat. Hi, Folks! I’m converting grasslands to cropland and had wireworms in my garlic last year. So, for the 2014 planting, I’ve put down hairy vetch which I will mow down when it flowers (April?). I’ll be planting garlic in October. What type of cover crop do I put down between April and October? I’ve been told to avoid grains as wireworms like them. I was thinking of doing continuous buckwheat, but every 4 to 6 weeks seems a bit much if there is an alternative. Thoughts? Thanks for the input!
