My cover crop in this area consists of Austrian winter peas, Oats and Groundhog tillage radishes. The winter peas will fix nitrogen for next year. The oats will add organic matter through their fibrous root system and fall top growth. The tillage radishes will produce lots of organic matter, take up nutrients and store them for next season. They also will break up any compaction with their large penetrating tap root.
