1) In all cases, ground cover, via rhizodeposition, feeds soil microorganisms.

2) Moreover, at the end of life, it will be the nourishing organic matter that the soil needs.

a) 1 option: the ground cover ends up dominated by the plant; regresses and is incorporated by the worms, etc ...

b) 2 option: I do not remove hay, but reduce consumption; at the end of the cycle of the whole (vegetables and ground cover), I spend on it with a hay roll ... Or I do it every other year to put a little order ...

I'm thinking rather of b) ...

it's a perennial, a flower I'm looking for the name and a photo and I put that to you, so it grows pretty fast not too fast, or it should have a lot of feet, because it does not sow

I will try to make a photo of those planted at home and insert it

so the trouble is that to bring the MO into the ground you have to destroy the ground cover if I understood correctly
so
year 1 hay = setting up of the ground cover and planting at the same time
year 2 the cover ground to all covered one plants directly in it and one covers with hay at the end of the season
year 3 we start again on the year 1
did I understand right?

That's what happens
Image
we see on the bottom of the photo how progresses this ground cover
at first it was the size of the round of flowers that can be seen in the center of the photo

it develops on this thick layer of needles which covers a thick layer of bark

so can it be a good candidate?

It's original....

I am rather adventurous but I do not know if I would like to install this in the kitchen garden.

Must say that I already have enough with my potentil. : Mrgreen: who could however also pretend to this role and in addition it is gratos by here.

The problem with Isotoma fluviatilis is that it's slow as development ...
It spreads how fast ???

It's no easier than a gélif thing and especially who is Seme ... clover style of Alexandria or other?

Do you know what she brings or not to the earth?

I do not know what to say to you but personally I would opt for something more proven ...

at the beginning it's a ground cover for the pleasure garden, and seeing how it develops and quickly enough, I thought it could be a good candidate for a crop under cover alive, it's just a hypothesis, so I'll see how it evolves and we'll see what we can do

Ok ok I understand better ....

Actually for the pleasure garden it interests me more .... even if I will follow with interest the trick for the garden if you tents ...

From memory it does not sow that?

I'm trying, in the kitchen garden, that's for sure, I'll first see if it can cover a layer of hay and bare soil
not actually it does not sow, but we must be able to take feet and transplant them, or even put in bucket in autumn for transplanting in the spring after the introduction of hay
it's a whole protocol to set up, to experiment

Also check if it can be "subdued" easily enough, by covering with a layer of hay. Because if it's out of control, maybe it's risky?

In the same vein, I used creeping thyme as ground cover: https://www.senteursduquercy.com/118-thyms-rampants

Ah thyme thyme but it's a "crime" to destroy it Image

But we do not necessarily think of plants that are appreciated for this kind of technical use ...

And then the result with the creeping thyme?
What gave what?

the creeping thyme is a sub-shrub, so there is ligneous

but what did it give?

Have another idea ...



Without certainty that this is valid for anything other than cereals
