No-Till Roller Crimper

The Rodale Institute's cover crop roller is a ingenious low-tech tool that allows farmers to roll down a cover crop into a weed suppressing mulch mat and plant right into it, all in one pass. This tool marries two sustainable farming practices, organic and no till, into one low-input system that saves time and energy, produces bumper crops and sequesters carbon.

@kittensniffles another good way we find to get ride of compaction,,,if we have any,,,we plant sunflowers every four years on the fields,in our rotation., Tuber cover crops don't work well for where I am at,,too many rocks

@kittensniffles depending on where you are,,,in Canada we can no till every year for years as the frost up here breaks up the plow pan, if that is what you are worried about,,there are no till sub soilers out there,,,Salford sells one,,it looks good,,,Great Plains is another really good one

The Skaneateles Lake Watershed Ag. Program is waste deep in cover crops. They now own a 10' and a 15' roller.

Where can I buy one of those. I've planted pumpkins on rolled rye and sweetcorn on vetch and was very satisfied with the results but I could use a better roller.
