A green manure or cover crop improves water infiltration, reduce soil erosion, reduces nutrient leaching, and promotes the growth of microorganisms. Annual rye can be sown at the rate of one to two pounds per 1000 square feet during September and October. A light fertilization with one to two pounds of fiveten-ten generally will increase plant growth.
Wait until deciduous trees and shrubs begin to drop their leaves before fertilizing them. This signals dormancy, when no new growth will be stimulated that might not harden off prior to cold temperatures. However, roots are active until soil temperature drops below 40 degrees F, so nutrients will be taken up and used by the plants to develop a stronger root system.
