cover crops

Asked October 19, 2017, 8:28 AM EDT

Hi, I live in 20902. Is it too late to plant cover crops in my raised beds? A neighbor suggested crimson clover. Thanks for your help! -

You can plant winter rye as it can be planted later than other cover crops. It can be grown under cooler temperatures. http://extension.umd.edu/growit/beyond-basics/cover-crops-protect-and-improve-your-soil
