My summer plot is off to a great start, very happy with it considering its my first attempt. Some may have read my question about clover plots in the deep south and i thank all of you for replying. That will be a work in progress over the next few years. But my mind keeps running about this idea of year round food sources.
I put in 3 acres of beans/peas/buckwheat, and its doing great, but what do i do with it in the future? What is a typical transition out of summer plots look like?. I am speaking of the same physical location, not in addition to. If my beans/peas dont have pods, if we have a terrible summer and the whole thing dies, or even if it lives to maturity....what do i do with it in the end?
i would love to have something growing under it or beside it as it dies out. (i could disc half of it late summer to have two plots side by side, but that thought seems counter productive if they are still using it).
keep in mind not far away i am will have 2 smaller plots that i will continue clover in, and have oats/wheat as a nurse crop, also going to add chicory this year.
thanks
