How to Choose the Right Cover Crop for What You Need

Not every cover crop makes sense for every situation. In this video, I wanted to give a brief rundown of when to use what cover crop and the reasons you may want a cover crop to begin with. This video was made possible in part from a grant through Southern SARE. https://southern.sare.org

This video answers: what makes a good cover crop, what are good cover crops for mulching, what are good cover crops for fertility, what are good cover crops for adding soil organic matter, what are good winter cover crops, what cover crops die over winter, and more!
