Nature vs nurture: Untangling why mycorrhizal fungal diversity differs across orchid species

The southern emu-wren, one of Australia’s smallest birds, weighs just seven grams, about as much as two teaspoons of water.
More tail than bird, its six upright tail feathers make up more than half its length and the males have a distinctive sky-blue patch of feathers on their upper chest and throat.
Pollen holds a secret that could save honeybees
Scientists have discovered that pollen is a hidden source of natural medicine for honeybees. Symbiotic bacteria called Streptomyces produce antimicrobial compounds that fight deadly bee and plant pathogens. Bees collect these bacteria along with pollen and store them in hives, creating a natural defense system. This could lead to new, sustainable ways of protecting both pollinators and crops.

Home Vegetable Gardening – raised on tilling every year fall/spring – how to change?
Ok, so I would love to change to the no till method but I do not understand how to do this. If i don’t till, how do I even plant seeds? I would prefer to do some sort of cover crop, but not sure which one would be the best.
We have access to compost from our local waste management company for a good price per truck load. However, I feel like it is not good quality as it doesn’t seem to hold water – the water just puddles and sits on top.
Help me find a good cover crop that I can plant this fall – zone 5A and one that will winter kill so I can plant in the spring. Also, in the spring, if the cover crop is supposed to be dead, what happens with it? When I have tried this before there was so much plant material not decomposed that we had to just till and get rid of this anyway.
We typically use grass clippings from our yard (also grew up watching my parents do this); but is there something different that I should do? Like should I be using a different cover top in between rows?
*editing to add: we have two large compost bins made with wooden pallets; still getting the hang of this as we frequently have too much green waste.
And yes, I am also concerned with what others put into the compost bags to go to the waste company – I frequently find glass pieces in the compost we have purchased from them.
