@Need4Weed Yup, it provides nitrogen. The cover crop also helps retain moisture in the soil, and in outdoor cases, attracts beneficial insects. I read something that makes real sense; when is the last time, in nature, you saw one plant growing, with absolutely no other type of plant growing around it? Whether it be grass, weeds, flowers, etc... plants never grow alone. There's gotta be a reason for that, so that's another reason I went with a cover crop
Makes sense bro and I could have used some of those beneficial insects last year. Aphids hit me hard just as buds were setting and I had to use Azamax and still lost 2 out of 6 plants and stunted 2 others. This year I plan on planting marigolds around my plants and also, I'm going to try and get some lady bugs too!
