Garden Plans > 2015: Upper South Dave Tallassee

About this Garden Plan

Southern end of 100' by 15' bed. The southern end of this bed is heavily infested with nutsedge. I believe it is yellow nutsedge as the tubers have a pleasant, almond-like aroma. I have been inadvertantly spreading the nutsedge every time I till it. So, I am going to a long term solution, to smother the nutsedge for the next two years with a 365-day heavy cover crop, as follows: Late fall-winter-early spring=crimson clover; mid-spring-late summer=cowpeas; early fall=buckwheat.
