Hi, Folks! I’m doing cowpeas as cover crop before garlic because the soil needs the nitrogen and the extension agent said the cowpeas would be more drought-resistant than soybeans. I’m not seeing a lot written about cowpeas as a cover crop. When should I plow them under to keep them from re-seeding in my garlic? At flowering? When the cowpeas are in the pod, but green? Or can I just let the cowpeas mature because the winter will kill the seed anyway? Thanks for the input. My location is below, if that helps.
