I'm not sure that cover crop and green manure are synonymous, and if so, if green manure should be the main entry. As I understand it, a green manure is used to provide nutrients and/or organic matter, whereas cover crops can have other functions, such as winter protection. That would make green manures a type of, or subset of, cover crops???? Tsavage 15:21, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Reverted redirect to Green Manure
Following on my comment above, I've (re)separated cover crop and green manure. I believe the main meaning of green manure is a crop that adds to the soil (nutrients, organic matter). Cover crops can be grown for other reasons than that. Tsavage 03:22, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
This cover crop article needs discussion of Farmscaping, under Pest Management. The DrMcBug site [1] is a good link to explore, though it is not a user friendly, site . Will comeback and contribute this information.--Jeanneharris 04:51, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Farmscaping - Definition: Deliberate use of specific plants and landscaping techniques to attract and conserve "Beneficials", i.e. beneficial organisms.
