Cover crops and moisture



When I went to school, bare earth was the
only way to get all the moisture and nutrients
to the crop. Weeds and cover crops robbed the
crop.

Now I read in various posts scattered through
the archives of a.s.a that cover crops, quite
apart from keeping the soil in place etc
actually help conserve moisture.

Can somebody explain this to me?
