My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Digging under a cover crop.

21 years ago

I prepared a bed this year by digging up the sod and planting buckwheat. In mid-June (I am in Zone 5B) I dug under the buckwheat and planted crimson clover. My question is: Should I dig under the clover now before the freeze, or should I wait until the Spring?
