I rotate between two main patches, so I'll be back in the western one this year. The last time I grew in it (2022 season), I planted winter rye in the fall of 22 after cleaning plants out, but didn't plow before tilling. I'm not sure how much that affected things, but we ended up in a drought here last year, so when I went to plow the rye, the ground was rock hard. The summer cover crop did ok, but the ground was still hard, without much rain. So.... tried to tear it up a bit with a mini excavator, filled the trenches in with leaf compost, then plowed perpendicular to the trenches and reseeded.
