Green Manure mowing

When a green manure crop has been established it needs topping to reduce weed species and encourages soft growth that will be easier to incorporate prior to cultivation.
I used a standard meadow topper set at about 6" cutting height, this will knock off the weed flower and seed heads while avoiding any damage to the clover.

The finished job, the area to the front of the picture will be available for vegetables next year while the top area will be used for chickens later in the Autumn.
