Viva Arizona. Summer slump is the best time for covers. Sorghum with cowpeas beat the heat. Sorghum will grow only as tall as it's taproot can grow deep. Winter crops like oilseed radishes, carrots, collards, kohlrabi, and so on make great feed stocks. Mixed, it's rare they suffer damage. Mesquite is a treasure that was ignored or hated. Leaf feed value is same as clover, but those roots will drive as much as 200 feet while pumping out nitrogen, giving shade, and then a high value grain, the beans.Warnings on that, most animals can't digest the seeds, but there is a move to create mechanical harvesting, then crush the pods and feed that way. 31% protein, and 26+% surar in the pods.

This is a fairly generic general overview, not everything did is perfect, but it’s a good start. The shovel is the best tool to get an idea of how your soil is functioning. Thanks for this little video!

In warmer climates try pigeon peas...they are miraculous

Were you suggesting a nuclear density machine to test soil compaction ? That looked like a troxler in the video….. good luck getting the license to buy one of those.

Cannabis is a great one. Your soil will be drastically improved and your bank account will look great as well.

Unless you get busted by the sheriff while he is serving you divorce papers. Bank account not look so good.

How come you show wheat when you talk about oats?

[@feralfarmgirl]

Stock footage. They probably couldn't find the footage they needed, so they substituted it, thinking nobody would notice. 😆 Good catch!

Red clover doesn't last 3 years

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

Well, under certain conditions it lasts. I mow my hayfields after the clover has bloomed and starts turning color. Then it reseeds itself year after year.@@shanegeorge9157

@@shanegeorge9157 Yeah, I caught that one, too obvious. It does hardseed, tho, which is great.
