agree  Lesley Burgon: definitely - "mulch" is used to cover the soil (I personally use tree bark) to keep weeds low and retain moisture - this method on the other hand creates a 'mulch' with plants which will not grow wild like weeds.

mulch-till


Explanation:
"The so-called mulch-till system ... " In diesem Kontext wäre das eine elegante Formulierung. Ich habe diesen Begriff aus einer englischen Agrar-Firmenzeitschrift. Ansonsten ist "mulch seeding" richtig, in der Landwirtschaftsbranche ist aber "mulch drilling/drilling into mulch" gebräuchlicher. "Tillage" wird zunehmend für jede Art der Bodenbearbeitung verwendet.
