"[...] cover crops are left to grow and then mowed down or turned into the soil before the desired crop is planted."
Earlier, the book mentioned the benefits of soil that has not been disturbed. Is there a way to turn cover crops into the soil without tilling or otherwise disturbing the topsoil? Chop them down and add compost for example?
@tofuwabohu I’m not aware of this book but in the context of cropping, direct seed drilling leaves the cover crop residue on the ground and places the seeds through it.
