@newholland . We have organic straw (and feed wheat oats barley) to sell but not sure why you would find these hard to source. I may have missed the point.
@New Puritan
No plough organic should work on clay but no till in wetter UK , I'm not sure. Think very shallow pass with rotorvator to chop weeds would be reasonably safe for soil and it's life and bonds. Reliance on dry weather crimping and frost kill not UK ideal . mechanical hoeing good enough if you can afford the gps guided kit. Fine for high value veg.
Do not be too keen to ditch the plough. Worldwide, organic system has best AMF andsoil life, iit's the diversity of rotation, not the tillage system.
