Old Cobblers Farm Winter Rye Seeds - Non-GMO, Organic Cover Crop (1lb Bag) for Soil Erosion Control, Weed Suppression & Green Manure - Perfect for Home Gardens, Farms & Sustainable Agriculture

Old Cobblers Farm Winter Rye is an excellent winter field cover crop because it rapidly produces a ground cover that holds soil in place against the forces of wind and water. Winter rye has deep roots to help prevent compaction in Annually tilled fields and, because its roots are quite extensive, winter rye also has a positive effect on soil tilth. Winter rye is often paired with a legume, such as vetch or field peas. If your area is populated with wildlife such as turkey, crows, raven, or any other wildlife foul, cover it with hay or straw to help prevent these birds from eating the seeds and ruining growth.
