I was curious what the no-till growers do to refresh their beds for next harvest. Chop cover crops, turn mulch layer, bokashi's, soil tests, top dress's, ect?
I prefer to remove the mulch before I top dress and then place it back down on top of the top dress. That way I preserve the mulch. After I would top dress the worms would usually process everything within a week or so. I would also place all my prunings under the mulch and the worms would go crazy after that and process very quickly.
When you have a cover crop actively growing it is hard to remove the mulch. I would usually cut my cover crop sometime within the first month of flower since my canopy would shade it out so much that it would start die/ stretch any way. After I was done re-amending/top dressing I could plant a cover crop if I felt like it.
