Winter can be brutal on your garden soil. What was once rich, lively earth can turn into a hard, lifeless slab by the time spring arrives. But there’s hope—and it comes in the form of a cover crop that works its magic while you’re tucked inside, sipping cocoa and dreaming of spring blooms.
These crops aren’t just filler; they’re soil superheroes, quietly repairing, feeding, and protecting the ground so your garden can hit the ground running. Understanding how and why this works could change the way you approach winter gardening forever.
