#217: Three No-Till Cover Cropping Pitfalls with Jonathan Leiss
In this special episode, Lisa speaks with Jonathan Leiss of Spring Forth Farm about three pitfalls related to cover cropping on the no-till farm:
1) planting cover crops without a plan to terminate them,
2) underestimating the amount of time needed to tarp a cover crop, and this not having beds ready when needed,
3) inadequate seed-to-soil contact when seeding.
Lisa and Jonathan commiserate about these common issues and offer strategies to avoid and overcome these challenges.
