Turned over the last three beds this weekend. Everything is looking good, but my back hurts a bit. The leaf mulch has cooked down quite a bit and we'll have to augment with compost and maybe even a bag or two of topsoil or compost. If you click through on the above image, there are "notes" that provide extra info.
One thing I noticed is that the roots of the cover crop are quite substantial and provide at least half of the biomass. Hope it breaks down pretty quick. I have heard of people covering up beds with burlap bags to help break things down. unfortunately, I don't have those.
