One of the questions I was asked most frequently last year was about how the cover crop + leaf combination breaks down over the winter, and what I do with all of the plant matter / debris in the spring. I made a point of filming it this spring, now that I've started planting, so that you all can see the results in detail. The short version: the cover crops themselves are completely absorbed into the soil, along with the finely chopped leaves, while the insulating top layer of leaves is left in place as a mulch wherever I put in transplants. Enjoy!
