Bye Bye Grass

cecilsgarden1958 · April 15, 2008

I had the most luscious cover crop this year into January, when it was finally snow blanketed, although only lightly and for brief periods, then I sort of forgot to watch it.
Last week, when interested stirred to wonder to my garden I was greeted to NOTHING!
Now where did my beautiful mix of tetraploid rye, berseem clover and hairy vetch go?
If deer actually jumped the fence would they destroy all traces of it? To the blade, to the plant?
I tilled the garden the other day and it till beautifully, without even a trace of a root of my former grass, unlike last year when I had such trouble tilling through the dense roots & turf.

Sounds more like the work of goats (kind of chilly yet for a
plague of locusts).
