I'll check out those videos, and maybe someone at the local good garden supply place will have some knowledge.

I'm leaning toward a cover crop but I'm still considering doing cardboard and compost. Our city has a good compost program and delivers, but I'm not sure I can wrangle all that and get it spread around so I may save that until fall and do a cover crop in the meantime.

Thanks again.
