As we empty the raised beds in prep for winter, I seed then with a cover crop of wheat, barley and oats. This will be allowed to grow quite tall and then I will crush it all flat and cover it with leaves, then snow.

In the spring, this is all tilled back into the soil to put some nutrition back.

The first 2 beds were looking great until 3 rabbits found their way into the "Garden of Eat'n". They will soon have many many beds to choose from as they are slowly fattened up this fall. ;-)
