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 -30\u003cspan class=\"st\"\u003e°\u003c\/span\u003eF! 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 it 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.

Reaching heights up to 7 feet tall, this prolific grass can be grown as a green manure and as a natural weed-suppressing mulch when cut and laid down. Piper Sudangrass is drought resistant and prized for its rapid growth. A valuable forage crop, it can be grazed, cut for a fine hay or made into silage. When mown down to 6-8 inches, it can be cut several times in one season to produce multiple crops of hay. This variety has been used as a natural soil fumigant by tilling it into the soil immediately after cutting or frost-kill. The decomposing grass releases compounds that are toxic to nematodes, especially root-knot nematodes, reducing their populations in the soil. It is therefore valuable for both intercropping and crop rotation. \u003cstrong\u003ePlease note: Piper Sudangrass contains low amounts of prussic acid, a compound that can be toxic to animals and should be grazed only when it is taller than 18 inches and never after a frost.
