Just wondering if anyone caught this video on cover crop farming. I think it's worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

It had me thinking about growing cover crops in the raised beds and then just pushing them over as a mulch. Maybe I was missing something, but I thought everyone growing cover crops was tilling them in (when applied to backyard gardens).
Moisture loss is something I intend to address this year with better mulching habits. This may be an answer, although this technique may very well have to wait until next year seeing as I probably missed the sow dates for any cover crops.
Side note: I already started getting seed catalogs. Is it just me or isn't it a little early? I already got parks, totally tomatoes, and a couple others.
