#grownostr #gardening #Texas cucumbers and melons growing like crazy right now. I’m also harvesting hairy vetch seeds for this winters cover crop.

I have one new row of cucumbers that sprouted really well with a lot of biochar mixed in. The two other areas with less had terrible germination rates.

I’ll be checking my aquaponics system soon for propagated elderberry and blackberry in biochar, sand/perlite, and regular clay pebbles.

Is hairy vetch the only cover crop?

Yes, that’s the only one I put down this year. I’m growing sorghum in other areas, might use that as a mulch.
