Hello all,

I am growing in an organic medium. I'm somewhat new to growing still as this is only my second grow, first with organic soil. I was wondering how beneficial cover crops would be in my container. I was thinking on using white clover. Even if it isn't totally beneficial, as long as it wouldn't be harmful, it would be nice to keep that ecosystem active

I personally wouldn't do it. I don't see any benefit from it, other than maybe looks. But I would be worried of some fungus or mold growing underneath. In my last grow, I actually had some fungus. But I could spot it fairly quickly.

That being said, we are all not professional gardeners, but learning from experience. Do what you feel comfortable with. And if you grow a wicked weed, share some!
