[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 936886, member: 6543"] ditto to what dun said.... no till and then just put the residue back on the surface. If you really want to improve the land go with a multi species cover crop mix....the multispecies interact with the soil biota to cause an explosion of soil micro organic growth and real improvment in soil quality. rye grass and triticale and some winter peas, some vetch and crimson clover and some brassicas like turnips or tillage radishes . to the pearl millet add soy beans or cow peas and clover and sunflower and buckwheat. you can either roll down the plant material or even graze half of it and then plant the next cover. Grazing should be done under some type of controlled grazing for best results. some links [url]http://plantcovercrops.com/cover-crops-and-ray-the-soil-guy/[/url] [url]http://vimeo.com/channels/raythesoilguy[/url] [url]http://www.greencoverseed.com/[/url] Here at the Soil and Water District where I work we have applied for a grant to do a three year project on multispecies cover crops on 35 farm plots spread over eight counties to study soil quality under multi species cover crops in our cropping systems.
