$8.95
- Description
Secale cereale
Winter Rye seed is excellent for fall planting even when it's too late to plant other cover crops because rye seed can germinate in cold soil. A rye cover crop builds biomass quickly, is great at suppressing weeds, and provides support for inter-seeded legumes. In spring, mow down just before plants start to flower, and incorporate the rye grass into the soil for a wonderful green manure. Well adapted to all soil types. Plant rye seed in fall for overwintering. Seeding rate: 3 pounds per 1000 square feet.
