@Andrew Greenlee comfrey doesn’t actually fix nitrogen but you can use it as a dynamic accumulater. Ie grow it in one place then harvest the leaves and use it for mulch. If you plant it as a companion it will just take the N from that bed
Keep a living soil covered
Let me know what you think below. What do you use to cover your soil?

We have a lot of white poplar which is classified as an alien invader here so we are obliged by law to clear it. We cut it down and send it through a woodchipper which makes a great mulch. I use this in conjunction with a cover crop chop and drop strategy.

@Dennis Wichter yes there is always a tinge of regret when felling a tree but they really do take over and crowd out the indigenous riverine growth so we treat it as a renewable resource

@Jim Flach oh I see so you are building soil for use elsewhere while getting yield from the process. cool concept. Are you growing in shallow trays and then making a heap elsewhere or are you working in some kind of bed and using the micro greens as a pioneer?

@Jim Flach yes it’s the classic composting problem of collecting enough biomass in one go to start. Sadly I’m not aware of any quick fix here but perhaps you can get creative with deeper trays and red wriggler worms? Just shooting from the hip here with ideas 🙃
Tomatoes have yellow leaves
My tomato plants are already about 15 inches BUT I am getting yellow leaves - how to correct?

Yellowing usually indicates N deficiency. Overwatering can cause N lockout even if you have great soil and a diverse microbiome
Walk and talk through a no-till greenhouse
Thought you guys might appreciate this video from my no-till greenhouse in South Africa. A friend who farms papinos asked me for advice on controlling spider mites. I made this video as a reply. Hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEgDUzY5U7o
