This document discusses no-till gardening using cover crops. It summarizes research done in Maryland on using cover crops like tillage radish and cereal rye in a no-till organic garden system. The document then describes a demonstration plot in Illinois that tests this approach without expensive equipment by only using initial cover crop seeding and no subsequent tillage. Photos show the growth and decomposition of the cover crops from September 2017 through June 2019. It concludes that a no-till organic system can work if one is willing to experiment, do some hand weeding, understand not every year will be perfect, and give the soil time to rebuild good structure.
