Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 207443, member: 944"] I'll admit I was wrong about the root system of Alfalfa. I would plant it next week if it only grew in alkaline soils as my dad proved it wouldn't when he tried to grow hay. As I remember your main cover crop is peas or some type of legume where you don't mow it and let it go to seed for added nitrogen. I have tried peas many years ago where I just let the plants go until frost when I mowed it. My front tine tiller did not manage to cut the tap roots and the entire root system pulled up and fouled the tines. Perhaps my tiller wasn't up to the task. I see in your photos that the rest of your garden is made with rows where your crops are. How do you make them, with a side buster? [/QUOTE]
