Can anyone recommend a specific cover crop to plant that will best prepare soil that has recently been cleared to plant a new truffiere with inoculated trees in spring 2023?
The site is located in Virginia in zone 7A, and was previously covered in 8 year old scrub pine. The land has just been being cleared of the trees and as much root material as possible (by root rake and hardy rake and discing). After the soil is prepared, we plan to add 2 tons of lime and then reassess the PH in 3-6 months.
I would appreciate any specific advice on an initial cover crop selection to plant immediately following land preparation and lime application, as it will serve both to add organic material to the soil structure, and serve to help control soil erosion.
