This year I tried some new methods, including undersowing with clover. Immediately after planting my main crops, I broadcast medium red clover seed onto the garden beds. This worked really well with wheat / barley. These grasses grew quickly and suppressed the clover until I harvested grains (mid-July). No longer shaded, the clover took off and established a thick stand. The clover will survive until next spring, at which point I will hoe it in. #gardening #CoverCrops #legumes
