green manure crops


Please forgive my regression on this topic, but I need some resources -
hope you might be able to help.

I'm plotting and pondering my prairie garden for the spring again (never
really stopped) and remember hearing mention of *green manure* crops
from some folks here.  Could someone give me more information on what
they are, and why and how you use them?  Do I plant them with other
seeds in the spring?  Do I have to till them under to get the *manure*
effect??

Any information you have will help this aging brain, as will any URLs
that might explain more.
