I think this is really two questions in one.
First, would you expect Austrian Winter Pea to be winter killed in Zone 6? Maybe I chose a bad cover crop.
Second, now that these things weren’t winter killed, what should I do to kill them? I did cut some off at ground level, but it looks like they have leaves all the way down so I’m wary that they will grow back.
Thanks!
Doesn’t that defeat the point of a cover crop? I thought the idea was to build up biomass to ultimately be a soil amendment.
you can compost it and add it back later
