Barley

Hordeum vulgare
An open pollinated hardy annual. Barley is a fast-growing grass with fibrous roots that can reach as far as 2m (6') deep. It is less upright than oats, and not nearly as weedy as rye. Excellent for erosion control and holding nitrogen, which will be released as the the tilled barley decomposes. Barley is great for grain and straw production. Underseed with Crimson Clover, harvest the grain, and then till under the clover in the first or second year. Does not overwinter in cold climates - will winterkill at -8°C (17°F). 50kg per acre. 500g covers approximately 438ft².
