This is extremely helpful. I have backyard goats and so I treat my yard as a crop for them, so having a mix of fast growing grasses is important to my application.

Great presentation! Is this work published?

I’m running an organic garden here at home . I’m in northern Alabama . This next cold season I’m considering a cover over the garden plot due to constant weed issues . I also want to drop nitrogen back into the soil. The only chemical I will allow in my garden is neem oil. I know this puts me at a disadvantage for weed control . However I don’t want chemicals in my food that can also be harmful to me and my family. So my question here is this. If I do a winter wheat or even crowder peas over winter do you have any insight of what my results will be for both weed control and putting back into my soil? I rotate my garden side to side each year. I recently have gotten into planting sunflowers to draw my pollinators . My soil amendments are chicken litter from a local chicken house . I have done this back to back seasons now with great results. Now I want to loosen this soil up a bit. ( good ol Alabama red dirt) so mid summer I tend to compact and we get a little dry down this way sometimes. So I’m considering using cotton compost to add into the soil this next season after my winter wheat comes out . What are your thoughts on this?

Organic is a scam and using GMOs and herbicides are not harmful but keep believing what you want

Use the wheat, put it on thick, when you go to “till”, don’t till, cut it up like a lawn mower..leave the chopped up biomass on top, add compost on top of the biomass.. do this about a month before planting…when you go to plant your garden, plant right into this mix that is now compacted down abit and is breaking down already…this makes a great fluffy mixture for your bugs and worms to work into your soil and provide a living compost layer on top… good luck!

@@pboboige there is a bunch of compost on top, black earth, that 2-3 inches deep on top of the cut down biomass is the medium the plants grow into as the cut decomposes underneath.

They still don't get it. :(
