Why Perennial Cover Crops Don't Work

Perennial cover crops are often touted as the ideal way to grow food but our experience is, well, they just don't grow that much food. In today's video I talk about why perennial cover cropping fails and how it could be changed.

There are arguably better crops to be used as perennial cover crops and as crops to be planted into them. There are also probably better methods. I'm open to critique here! Still willing to try some perennial cover cropping, but not optimistic yet.
