I'm thinking about some fall-planted clover or vetch for a cover crop. I was
pleased with the result when I cover cropped years ago, but we had a bigger
plot then, with a rototiller and a winter-buckwheat that grew near shoulder
high. We don't have the space or the rototiller any more. I'm wondering if
I'd be in over my head if I planned to hand spade and hoe about 500 square
feet of legumes. Is there anyone out there doing cover crops with just hand
tools? How difficult is the spring work?
