Plant a crop to feed the soil this fall. Green manures, also known as cover crops, provide needed nutrients to the soil both while they are growing and when you chop them down and dig them into the soil after they start to bloom. This is a great way to prepare the soil for your spring planting. Come learn about the seeds to plant now to give this boost to your garden beds, and when and how to incorporate the plant matter into the soil.

Followed by Grand Rounds in the garden.
