## Overview

The 1LB Winter Rye Seed Cover Crop is a robust cereal rye ideal for food plots and wildlife. It excels in cold conditions, suppresses weeds, enhances soil nutrients, and provides excellent erosion control, making it a must-have for eco-conscious landowners.

## Description

Winter rye is a cereal grain that should not be confused with ryegrass, which is for pasture, hay, lawns, and cover crop. Winter rye is planted in the fall and can germinate and grow very quickly in cool soils. The fast growth of winter rye suppresses even the most noxious of weeds, and will do better than other grains in poor soils. It's the most cold-hardy of the grains able to withstand temperatures 30 degrees below zero! Its long root structure will hold soils in place and prevent soil compaction and erosion, plus quietly siphon available nitrogen from the ground for recycling. In the spring you can decide how to best utilize this unique crop: use it as a green manure and return the biomass and recycled nitrogen back into the soil for the next crop; use it for animal forage; or just before seed set you could cut and use it for a very clean mulch to be used around other crops such as strawberries. Of course, you could let if fully mature and use the grain for making flour, rye bread, rye beer, or animal fodder. Winter rye is a grain that is quite happy to be grown with a legume like hairy vetch or crimson clover. Sow seed late August-early September at 4-5 pounds per 1000 square feet; 50-125 pounds per acre.

    Great stuff!
  

*by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2014*

Great germination rate. Like 100% in my indoor test. Will be planting in my raised beds this weekend.I tested a handfull in a cup in my grow tent. Huge roots after 5 days. on day 7 the grass was 3 inches high.Update. I'm rather disapointed. I planted the seeds too late in the season. They germinated fairly well outside in the cold, grew maybe an inch or so, but that's about it. Next fall I'll plant them earlier.

I have added Rye grass to raised beds in the past and it works great to enrich the soil. I was happy to find these seeds on amazon and delivery was quick. The price point seemed like it was a little high at $14 per bag. I got three bags and planted 6 beds that are 4x8 feet. it's Growing!

*by A***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2016*

Winter rye seed is awesome to throw in flower boxes at the start of winter. I am happy with the volume of seeds and quality I received. This was more than enough seeds to fill 4x, 4' flower boxes. All of the grass is coming up beautifully.
