That was somewhat of a disaster for me as a first time cover cropper. Whatever seed I sowed in fall grew three feet high by spring and in the raised bed knocking it down was difficult. The crimper didn't kill the darn crop. I eventually had to smother it and had a difficult time planting in the tough roots that were left behind. Is there something that can still be planted that will grow and die off and improve the soil just laying on top?
In another bed I have the dakon or similar radish just starting to grow back from seeds dropped in spring.
