Let's say you want to improve the fertility of the soil and have ample time. Could you plant green manure and mow it regularly, leaving the clipping of course, for a few year? Would the benefit be the same as if the green manure was turned under or sheet mulched then seeded again?

thanks

Yes, of course, and I accept that blame. In fact, i covet that blame. As does this tiny ad:
