Thanks for the video.

From the explanation, it seems to me Green Bridge is similar or same as fallow period just that for green bridge, the stress (the motive) is more on doing away with pest and diseases instead of just allowing the land to regain its fertility. Please is that correct?

I haven't had a huge problem with this, although I can definitely see it being a potential problem if your in a crunch and can't give nature time to work it out. Being organic no till, I can't chemically terminate, and mechanical termination requires anthesis of the cover crops, so I'd be planting in July if I waited, and I'm keeping something growing all the time, whether that be double cropping, inter cropping or cover cropping.

The old adage, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" holds true. For everything that will destroy my crops, their is something that will destroy my enemy, and the beneficials will come. But by going in with chemicals, I'd be preventing that balance from ever happening. I'm killing the good guys and the bad guys.

Cover crop, best kept secret in farming. Only plant green here
