TIA for any help. As an organic farmer I’m playing catch-up with cover crops but think they would be a huge advantage if I can bring them into my system. But no glyphosate......
So I‘m looking into terminating cover crops mechanically, trying to avoid ploughing. See some people are rolling in the frost, using frost intolerant species, crimper rollers anything else?
I need to move soil to uproot established weeds, but I want to less soil less often.
I wondered if a bourgault a-share would be up to the job of finishing off a cover crop by up rooting it after the sheep have given it some welly.
Importantly much deeper does the bourgault share go compared to seed depth when drilling?
Thanks again for any comments. Jim
