Below are three great strategies to keep your plots one step ahead of the game, so you stay ready to plant when you need to.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Permabeds (or Raised Garden Beds)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\">When you use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.growingformarket.com\/articles\/transitioning-to-a-permaculture-market-garden-part-two\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Permabeds<\/a> (raised garden beds made of earth), your garden is always easier to work in the spring. Why? It dries out sooner.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Also, beds are organized in the plot so that you can see which beds can be available sooner, either because they dry out sooner or because they have no weed pressure relative to other beds.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/permabed-different-from-raised-bed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What is a Permabed and how does one differ from a raised bed?<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cover Crops<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\">Cover crops are a great way of \u201cholding\u201d beds over in between your market crops, such as carrots or tomatoes. A cover crop holds the space available for the time when you need it by preventing the land from returning to weeds.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Any garden plot left for more than a few weeks will naturally return to weeds.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> But c<\/span>over crops shade out these weeds.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Cover crops also act as a green manure. They fix nitrogen, phosphorous, organic matter and other essential nutrients, too. And they can provide a protective cover for the soil life beneath the Permabeds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Unlike weeds, it is easy to turn cover crops into fresh garden beds, ready to plant into vegetables or fruit trees. This is because cover crops are a \u201cknown\u201d ground cover. They have uniform growth and can be managed by timing a mowing to prevent seed set, followed by a tilling to integrate organic matter.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/cover-crops-can-protect-build-healthy-soil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cover crops are a powerhouse tool for building healthy soil.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Poly Tarps<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\">Tarps are powerful tools, appreciated by marker gardeners and serious home gardeners alike, to help maintain a state of readiness.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Not only a poly tarp warm the soil earlier when laid over the Permabeds over the winter, but they also kill perennial weeds such as grasses and thistle.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Additionally, if there are heavy rains in spring, they prevent erosion and keep beds dry. With tarps, a gardener can easily work Permabeds, even the day after heavy rains.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">When moving a garden into production, poly tarps can help quicken the decomposition of cover crops like winter rye, red clover and buckwheat. Then you can plant into a \u201cclean\u201d seed bed sooner without the bulky debris of cover crop residue (which makes it hard to seed fine seeds like carrots or arugula). And you maintain the benefits of improved soil organic matter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">These three methods, when used together, help the grower keep beds in a state of readiness for planting.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>First, we commit to raised beds that drain better and warm earlier. Then we cover crop them whenever possible to keep them out of weed and improve the soil. And finally, we can use poly tarps to further prepare and hold the beds in a state of readinedd for quick action in the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Grow On,<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Zach<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three tools, Permabeds, cover crops and tarps, will protect your garden and keep the soil ready to work as soon as temperatures allow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5787,"featured_media":86746,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,58,10458,427,10464],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beginning-farmers","category-crops-gardening","category-farm-garden","category-farm-management","category-permaculture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.0 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Permabeds, Cover Crops &amp;
