+ | I planted some in a small raised bed at home. It seemed to germinate well and smother weeds pretty well. I intend to plant a some more in a garden in late September 2014 to serve as green manure. | ||

+ | ==== At the garden ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I planted Medic Mix on part of our Fall City garden. I planted where I expect to begin planting in spring of 2015. I'm thinking that this mix of clover and alfalfa will be easy to terminate early. | ||
+ | |||
+ | What I found is that the extra-severe cold we had in November and January killed the alfalfa and set the clover back, allowing weeds to get way ahead by planting time. | ||
