Reply to Preferred soil prep protocols for starting new fruit tree row?
Thanks. I appreciate now from your comments that the mixed covers in year one can nicely segue in year two into some perennial covers. I see that some where biennials. I have a strong interest in using Sorghum Sudan grass (in the mix) but the catch is how to prevent it from going to seed before winter kill in central Minnesota (US). Mowing…
