First year doing fava beans as a cover crop on one of my spots over the winter. Seems to have worked out

Did it drown out all the weed competition? Was it easy to turn over the bed?
No I didn’t plant enough to drown out everything but it did help... probably will do more next year. Worked out as more of a bonus crop than a cover crop but I’ll take it.
Haven’t turned it over but I’ll probably #scythe them down, layer on some hay, and plant with corn and pumpkins later in the summer
Nice thanks
