Cover crops usually are grown to prevent soil loss from wind and water erosion. Use fast-growing cover crops, such as winter wheat or annual rye, on fall-spaded gardens. A second, and probably more important reason home gardeners should use cover crops is to improve soil structure and increase organic matter.
Does bimonthly mean twice a month? No! bi-monthly means every two months, like bi-weekly means every two weeks. semi-monthly means twice a month. Think of mortgage payments or payroll, bi-weekly payroll meaâ¦ns one receives payroll every second week (i.e. every second Friday). Semi-monthly payroll means twice a month (typically the 1st and 15th of the month).
Unlike with bimonthly and biannually, in the adjective and adverb senses, the prefix bi- applies to the week rather than to the events that occur, therefore giving the sense of âevery two weeksâ. Since the term is also used in the UK to mean âtwice a weekâ, it is ambiguous there. In British English, for the sake of clarity, it is advisable to use one of the synonyms instead. Furthermore, in some English speaking regions, the term fortnightly is also commonly used to describe an event happening once every two weeks.
