@re_fresh_gardens: Sometimes the best gardening advice comes from someone who’s been working the same soil for decades. This experienced Eastern Oregon gardener knows firsthand what relentless wind can do to soil. After harvesting his garlic, he plants buckwheat as a cover crop instead of leaving the ground bare. Why? Because every season is an opportunity to build healthier soil. Cover crops help protect the soil from wind erosion, improve soil structure, increase water infiltration and water-holding capacity, and add organic matter back into the ground. It’s a simple practice that helps the soil recover after feeding another year’s harvest. Healthy gardens begin with healthy soil. 🌱 Are you ready to invest in your soil this fall? #covercrops #soilhealth #regenerativegardening #gardening #buckwheat
