Soil Health and Cover Cropping

[@slytherinda4669]

Ray Archuleta has a bunch of good talks on the benefits of cover crops and the details on aggregate stability and how beneficial they are

Do the mix crops fix machinery caused compaction, I have noticed here on sand the weeds grow only in compacted areas. I have a hard time ever seeing true soil health in a highly disturbed manipulated agro system.

I love Jay Fuhrer’s line “plants fix dirt”. Living roots add resiliency to the soil. Weeds in this case are trying to fix it for you. Look for plants similar to the weeds to grow to try to replace them. If you watch the soil biology video it may help.
