So, quite a few people ask me "why do you bother to turn over your cover crop by hand?" and here in this photo is some of the reasons why.
The root structure from the rye grass down 8-10" is amazing...I have done it this way for the past 4 years and I guess my answer has to be "I don't kill many worms this way, the green ends up on the bottom, and all the ammendments I've spread get mixed in, and it rotates the top structure of the soil creating a lighter, easier to manage soil for when burying vines...also, quite frankly I've got 60 x 25 to deal with and this time of the year is when I want to shred a few pounds..."
Also, last 4 years our weights have been on the upward curve, so it would be silly to change now. Borrowing Dave's Troy built pony would be alot easier...but when I'm a big boy and have more land, I think I will have a ride'em tractor like my friend the Doctor and our other buddy in the Valley...gonna paint mine green to match my car.
Chad, if your reading this, we need to step it up this year and the Pemberton Valley needs to produce a monster if anyone is gonna compete with Scott...
