Biodegradable mulch at the research farm

"Ridge tilling" test plots
I have to come up with a plan this week for my Master's project. We need to plant next week in order to have two years of data, and it's getting late to plant cover crops... if you plant them too late, you either will have to kill them too early (when they are harder to kill, making them more likely to come back as weeds), or plant your crop too late to get good yield. I don't really know as much as it sounds... I will just do whatever it takes to come up with a decent question yielding data that will be helpful to small organic farmers in the area. So that's what I have to do this week, figure it out.
I'm also (on my own) going through an organic farming training online at the Rodale Institute.
