This is interesting thought I do worry about a thick layer of mulch sticking around and causing more problems with toppingI flail topped and left 2-3 months. But actually, in hindsight, the late topped material, 2 days before drilling, did a better job. Possibly the root structure was maintained?
Easier to plough it under mind....This is interesting thought I do worry about a thick layer of mulch sticking around and causing more problems with topping
What terms have you put to the sheep men out of interest?What are peoples views and experiences on rolling cover crops to desicate them on a frost?
We have a mix of Tillage radish, Lilla Phacellia and Ovidio Berseen Clover on some land going into spring crops.
we drill using a Weaving Sabre tine and I am worried about having to much trash in the spring for the drill?
Ideally would graze with sheep but struggling to find some locally.
And advise of experiences?

Then they just fall over, and leave a drying mass on top.... like wot I've got!You should've used crops that frost kill like I said when you asked me what to drill in the summer

Hoping so, as there is too much Willowherb germinating under the canopy.should hopefully decompose by the time you go to drill
