Going with a lot of old hay again, instead of a cover crop. But this time I will spread it thick but loosely. I threw whole flakes on the ground previously and this did not work only half as well as I expected. I will again burn off the excess in March or April. The coarsest remaining hay will burn clean and fast if I spread it evenly. The remainder will be ready to till... Or not. I dont think not tilling is my biggest issue. I think lack of water and fertilizer are bigger issues for me than till vs no till. Two biggest pumpkins this year were no till. Hard to believe. Biggest last year was no-till. My biggest every year has been no-till. Call me confused it makes no sense right!
