[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4454924, member: 6230"] yep when you grow green covers it takes the place of both compost and mulch. now every other year you can add an inch or so of quality compost and lightly till it in. im not totally no till yet and the way ive been doing it is in the fall around sept 1st i sow my oats, wheat, or peas and then i set my rear tine tiller for a 1'inch depth and lightly till the seed under. i get 95 percent germination that way. if growing crimson clover, i will till my sown wheat at 1" and then i will sow the clover on top of that and water. never till plant clover, it can be sown on top of the soil and raked in with a rake. in the spring i crimp it all and the peas and clover will decompose and the oats, wheat will decompose slower and act as a mulch weed barrier. the first year, at this spot, i did a deep till 8", one time, to loosen the hard pan clay and to remove the huge rocks. the first year i used wheat straw mulch in between the rows and let it decompose in the garden to add biomass.
