I will be using the throw and mow approach in the fall due to necessity. I disked, broadcast, and covered as I usually do this year.

From what I have read on this thread.............In order to have the best set up to plant next fall, I really need to leave everything and let the natural vegetation go all summer until ready to plant next October as opposed to planting any summer crops?

What can I expect the first year of throw and mow? Will the plots be really spotty? (I have always tried to have plots that looked like a well manicured lawn)
