[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4432645, member: 6230"] yep, not only does it create green light to the weed seeds but winter grains and brassicas covers are allelopathic, which means when the die they release a chemical that keep weed seeds from sprouting. a natural herbicide. but you have to be careful some vegetables do not like this property, mainly cabbage and lettuce. for spring plots i always add compost and mulch on top. when spring comes, i pull away the mulch a bit and plant cabbage, onions and lettuce. as long as you kill or crimp 2 weeks before your plant dates you will be fine on the other vegetables. oh, and crabgrass has allelopathic properties as well. thats why its hard to get rid of unles you remove it from the garden. winter grains also suppresses bermuda grass.
