On this plot this year, we are trialling cover crops across both rows

One row with field beans, the other with a mix, notably including barley. Across the estate, we settle for cover cropping every other row. The row without cover is used for pruning and then allows us to shred the vine shoots. The idea this year is to see to what extent we can leave the vine shoots in the row until it is time to roll this cover crop, most likely in April. If this works technically, we will roll out the practice across all rows.
