Jeff Poppen knows the valuable benefits of cover crops, also known as green manure. When used in a home garden, he advises to pull up the plants at maturity, shake off the valuable soil, and then enrich the compost pile with the green manure plants. For a farm field of cover crops, he mows the field several times over the span of 2 weeks, and then chisel plows that plant material into the soil. Then the microbes get busy doing their good work.
