I came up with an idea today about using soybeans as a cover crop and tilling them under just before the pumpkin vines get the them. I would plant them just after the oat cover crop was tilled in. Soybeans have a low C:N ratio so they won't tie up any nitrogen as they decompose. I believe doing this would add oxygen for root growth due to decomposing as well provide a loose soil as the vines grow over top do allow roots to penetrate the soil easily. If anyone has any experience with this feel free to email me with thoughts and ideas.
