@ wmontanez: Thanks for the link. That series of articles pretty much covers the basics of soil management. They manage to boil down into a few pages what an entire book would provide. Another fine example of why I always encourage people to visit their local Extension agent: most of the information that you can buy in books, is available for free from the extension office.

@ organic john: good choice. What land is not needed for this year's crop should be put to use growing organic matter and nutrients for the future. Cover crop seeds are one of the cheapest and most beneficial investments you can make in your land. Your land is working for you even when it is not working for market.
