The cover crop in the path shading the row crops has been an
issue for me, using alfalfa and clover in the paths. One needs to find
a tough, durable cover crop that can take foot traffic and does not get
much over 6-12 inches in height or mow it pretty regularly. The alfalfa
and clover often grow faster than the row crops, depending on
the weather. (Winter-dormant alfalfa and alsike clover.)
