Thithi starts with ... I'm considering growing pinto peanut as a ground cover and cover crop. Is it a good idea? Is it easy to kill pinto peanut plants with round up, just in case I may want to kill them in the future? (I could not kill English ivy with round up, and I don't want another like it in the garden ) | About the Author Thithi MELBOURNE,0,NT 5th December 2014 11:25pm #UserID: 10139 Posts: 193 View All Thithi's Edible Fruit Trees |

Waterfall says... I recently did a ground cover mix for my whole front yard after removing the lawn and digging in a lot of mushroom compost. I planted the following: White Clover Red Clover Lucerne Sequel Barrel Medic Mung Beans Buckwheat Cowpea Nasturtium Jewel Mix Marigold Gem Mix Woolly Pod Vetch Oats Japanese Millet French White Millet Wynn's Cassia Sunflowers There are a some of photos of the progression attached. It has done wonders for the soil as it was quiet sandy and did not hold moisture. Now it stays cool and moist if we do get rain. I just come through once every couple of weeks and do a chop and drop.

Waterfall says... Looking back I regret planting the millet grasses as I could only do a chop and drop and they grow too tall which shades the others out and then go to seed. They are excellent as green manure though as they produce a bulk amount of organic matter in a very short time. Everything else on my list has been great, very pretty to look at too. | About the Author Waterfall Waterfall 14th December 2014 6:49pm #UserID: 10026 Posts: 422 View All Waterfall's Edible Fruit Trees |
