Fixing the soil in the new beds

Backyard, about 180 sqft (iirc)
Front, about 25m2 = 270 sqft

  1. April
    1. Backyard: Plant field peas and oats. (Oats give the peas something to climb, so they produce more biomass).
    2. Front: Plant crimson clover
  2. Mid-to-late August
    1. Backyard: Plant tillage radish (daikon radish). This will winter-kill (ie it will die over the winter on its own).

    2. Mow down any excess green left from the winter kill
    3. Plant the stuff
