With gardening season fast approaching I thought I would show how I’m using cereal rye in the garden. Do you remember how folks were making crop circles several years ago by using a 2X4 and rope to flatten down the crops? That’s the same general thing that I’ll do with this bed in another couple weeks. I’ll flatten down the cereal rye all in one direction, nice and neat like. I’ll then come in behind that and spray it to kill everything. Once the mat dies and begins to dry down then I’ll come back and set out my seedlings with a wee/moisture barrier already in place. I'll update this as I go along.
The idea came from this video……..Many may have seen it before but if not then this is a very good place to start with your throw and mow experiments.
