[QUOTE="Luke Cropwalker, post: 7026433, member: 397"] I think the cost of cover crop seed mixtures are too expensive for the benefits. Think outside the box, buy some straights and mix yourself, grow a small area on and combine for your own use. While I think cover crops can be a very useful way of adding OM to soils it shouldn't be yet another way of lining the pockets of the trade. I was once on a farm walk and I suggested to the host farmer he left a strip of his cover crop to harvest, a certain gentleman from King's was VERY defensive, this told me all I needed to know.
