Mr. Grow It! Just wondering how you top dress with cover crop. My assumption is that the cover crop will get ruined while mixing the top dress in the surface of the soil. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for all you do for the community!! 💪🏻💪🏻

Yes you can top dress when using a cover crop. Many growers will simply "work down" the fertilizer through the cover crop. Or, many growers will chop and drop the cover crop at that point.
That's usually what you want to do. The cover crop becomes less necessary as the canopy starts to cover the pot. If you need the moisture retention you can cover with straw or even defoliated leaves.
