In our vineyard, we have green in the alleys between the rows of grapes.
There’s a reason for this, actually there are several reasons.
The cover crop helps to regulate temperature. On hot, hot days the heat from the sun isn’t reflected back up to the plants, which helps the grape plants immensely. It also helps keep the dust down and actually helps hold moisture into the soil.
And another thing…
It supports the microbiome in the soil. Those little microbiomes are so important in the vitality of our grapevines!
