Hi! Teresa, I will leave the cover crops to those closer to you. If you have more couch grass, get some turkey, pigeon or chook poo, put a thin layer over the freshly mown grass, water in and cover with thick builder's black plastic, weighed down with planks or what ever. Wait about six weeks and the couch should be dead and half composted. It is usually possible to plant a cover crop straight in, often without digging. If adding paramagnetic rock dust, gypsum etc do it with the poo. If available, also include at least the compost preps.
