That is what Crimson n camo has been preaching for years on this site. I’m just hardheaded. He even threw fertilizer and lime out during the summer to encourage the weeds. Then he would throw in mow in the fall and it would look like a picturesque plot. All without planting a thing in the summer.For one I don’t think about it.And two this plot will be over seeded with blansa clover and buckwheat then crimped in early June.
That 100# of rye and 100# of winter peas will create a nice mat to keep the weeds at bay (not to mention the alleopatic effects in the soil) while the quick growing anual clover and buckwheat does the rest until fall planting.
If plotting in the south I may think (and do things differently)
Maybe the doing things differently would be to not plant in the spring, mow a few times in the summer, spray and drill my fall plots?

I also wonder if I should plant my summer crop one time with a good herbicide with a lot of reseeding things. Dear vetch, Alyce clover, teosinte. Then for a couple years, just let it go natural, knowing there will be some of that good stuff in there as well as the weeds.
