Fall Rye

Secale cereale
Fall Rye is a soil builder. This cereal grain grows quickly in the fall and survives winter weather even in zone 3. It bursts into growth in the spring so try to turn under or cut back before it reaches 30cm (12"). It is harder to turn under when it is 1m (3') tall. Extensive roots loosen topsoil and improve drainage. Plant in mid September for best results, but fall rye will germinate as late as early November. Seed no deeper than 5cm (2"). Use 30-60kg/acre. 500g covers about 30sq m (300sq ft). (open pollinated seeds)

Growing Details

Cover cropping is a part of every well-managed sustainable garden or farm. Cover crops are useful in weed suppression, are important in building soil structure and add nutrients and organic matter to soils.  Many of the cover crops we sell not only perform all those useful functions within your growing space but also serve to support beneficial insect populations and provide a secondary harvest of grain, if you choose to allow the crops to go to seed.
