Why not let the bolt finish ? The bolting crops will reseed themselves if they fall in fertile, open weed free soil.... that means cutting out the task of you having to buy and spread new seed....

hello folks,

I'd like to experiment with Fukuoka's one-straw principles in my garden
in Berkeley, California - and was wondering if anyone had any
suggestions. I have spring crops bolting (unpicked radishes and turnips,
lettuce, chard, mustard, and other greens) and wanted to simply toss some
seeds in and then cut the bolting crops down as live mulch. Would this
work? I Love gardening, but I'd like to try doing as little work as
possible with the annuals I'm growing (at least, not tilling). Any
advice?

thanks,
*Stephanie
