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 did this when I grew inside and got good results. Pro tip though don't just use white clover, you want biodiversity. I use a mix it's got a few different species of clover plus flax, cow pea, and some others I don't remember.

Cover cropping has myriad benefits. It "probably" doesn't matter "as much" in a container but it's pretty and it's certainly not hurting anything. How big is your container? Do you have one for all your plants, or one for each?
