Left to nature, my garden grows its own cover crop of henbit, and it never fails to leave me with a beautiful, mellow structure that accepts and nutures new plants like nothing else can.
When I no-till, the only thing I have to keep an eye on is cutworms, which I expect will be fericious since we've had no winter.
I like the way this years CC is growing in a more manageable manner. I planted the usual Red Oats but tried Austrian Field Peas this year instead of the Bell Beans which grew to 6’ tall and were a major pain to cut down.
