[QUOTE="britt, post: 7208622, member: 1739"] Brassicas are of little value as a cover crop (but better than nothing), although the stock they feed will be good for soil fertility. Keep it cheep that late and that far north as you won't get a lot of growth out of anything, oats, barley for some grazing. Phacilia is cheep and a good cover but will be gone in the first frost. I think you would struggle to get enough benefit from vetch to justify the cost. A lot of the benefits that we hear of from cover crops come from warmer climates than ours with earlier harvests, where they can get more autumn growth than us before winter sets in. Unless you can get stuff in early keep it cheep preferably home saved. [/QUOTE]
