I did cover crops up to 2010, but do not do that anymore, except in garlic beds. We add lots of coffee grinds on top of the soil, and when soil warms up we add wood chips as mulch. Never need to water after that, and weeding is a breeze. Love it!

cjp, is this high pH normal for your area? It is quite high for peppers and tomatoes. I hope your next year will be bountiful!

According to Ohio State University Extension the PH should be between 6.0 to 6.8.I thought it was kind of high,don't know why Penn State said it was fine.They knew the state and county I was in.I'm going to correct this.The last time I took a PH test on my soil it was around 6.2,but that was 5 or 6 years ago and my friend no longer is alive.
