I have used hay in the past to help boost the soil but I was also thinking about using wood chips this year. I think I will do hay and rye and then wood chips. My nitrogen is high so I'm not worried about creating any severe deficiency and I could easily correct a moderate deficiency. The purpose of the wood chips would not be to feed the plant growth, it would be to feed the soil fungi and the pumpkin growth in late summer.
I chopped the mustard down with the lawn mower. It was very large and healthy but the mower handled it well. The buckwheat got very weak and sickly either because of soil bugs or some cold nights. I spread the chopped mustard and the rain will water it in.
I will plant some rye today.
