[QUOTE="York, post: 508468, member: 1738"] look, I don't need to be specific. some good covering legume but predominately some grases. So, black oats, maybe some rye + vetch & peas (fodder) and sunflower. We are not even starting that late. Our rape is already having some grases growing, to capture sunlight when pods have been set. So we only need to put into the green sward of gras some legumes & black oats. One think I now "swallowed" / "inhaled" on the French BASE - US trip is that farmers are the largest Sun energy collectors. Each day a green plant could grow but isn't growing is a lost day. Why lost day? Very easy because our life as man kind is depending wholly on having collected carbon = Sun energy. So our job is the transformation of solar energy into carbon into food. I think there is enough local expertise to come up with the appropriate strategy for each locality. Furthermore there are enough around which will not do it, or even try it, because it will not be pencilling out right up front. So, I encourge every one to do a trial, just part of the field and do a year long comparison. Don't need to do it on large scale, just do a tiny bit so in the end you are feeling sorry that you didn't have more "bottom" in your pants to have done more. York-Th. [/QUOTE]
