One of our AG sites. After the flood I planted rape and radish for a cover crop. I kept it mowed to keep the weeds from going to seed. Then I added chopped leaves mixed with grass clippings and covered it with compost. I used a total of 7400# of Cedar Rapids compost on the whole garden. I will add a few more amendments, some nitrogen to make up for what the leaves tie up, and till it all in. I might have to pull out the long gourd shells if they don't break up well.
