….or just mow taller at planting and leave more biomass standing in the air…..or don’t mow at all……things to ponder and experiment with.

One thing I have in mind is using yuchi and durana clover to push back the date of when the initial summer crop of native vegetation jumps out of the ground. If I can keep the field covered with cereal rye and yuchi (maybe some hairy vetch...legume....N) until the end of June and then bring in at least some durana for the latter half of the summer…..then maybe I can keep that biomass at the “just right” level…..not too thick, not too thin. Here we are back at the weedy clover patch again…..Doesn't it begin to look different now? smile
