In these our Sandhills, folks are needing to know more about cover-cropping. For building bio-mass and green manures, holding moisture, amending soils with nitrogen-fixers, erosion control, short-term cropping, cover-cropping is necessary. But there is much further research needed to determine the needs of our sandy soils.
That's where you come in. Farmers and gardeners wanting to use and learn more about cover-cropping can get FREE sample seed from your county's Ag. Extension office. Moore County's is in Carthage, stop by or call 947-5183.
The seeds I've gotten so far include velvet bean, sunn hemp and sesbania. Let's run some science experiments, Y'all! Maureen
