I think the most important thing is to do SOMETHING, in a plough based system, leaving bare ground ploughed up overwinter is DAFT, especially when a lot of the ground round here doesn't need frost. My fields had covers sown within 2 weeks of harvest, are being ploughed just now and weather permitting will be drilled within a fortnight.
As for cost I'm spending too much on seed and drilling, going to try broadcasting then light cultivating with a lemken karat that we have next summer. Any cc drilled without moving soil has really struggled but maybe a bit of N would sort that.
