Well, due to the overwhelming attention required of the sunflower project, I have to admit the no-till project is getting a bit neglected. But it is still proceeding nonetheless. But it is still going without me. I pulled off part of the tarp to take a look at the soil yesterday and most of the plants have died off. In the control section there are some rhizomes which I suspect are from couch grass, but most everything else is dead. These has left the soil with a nice layer of lose soil, and I have not checked, but I assume it will be much easier to dig in now. I wil do bulk density testing as soon as I can find the time. I will be curious to see the difference. Here is a video of the area now:
