      Thank you for this thread! I am going to use Fabrice’s recipe above. An orchard I manage has a TERRIBLE weed issue and I think tilling with a cover crop is a great way to out compete the bad weeds and start to trade in for better ones.

        This is great feedback. Thank you! The orchard is on a hill and the county is requiring use of cover crops to reduce soil erosion (is anyone really checking?). Plus the current weed situation is just a mess. I have spent the past 6 months rehabilitating this orchard, getting the irrigation system streamlined (another topic entirely), mowing , hand pulling weeds, weed eating and spraying this orchard has been a CHORE to say the least. I guess more tilling and spraying instead of a better weed situation is what you are suggesting? Thanks fellas!
