Green Manure Winter Rye Seeds from Mr Fothergill's Seeds and Plants.

Revitalises poor soils.

One of the very best over-wintering green manures. Produces large amounts of fibrous roots to improve soil structure and reduce soil compaction, preventing important nutrients being washed out of the soil by wet weather.
Sow & Grow:
Sow outdoors, February-March on any soils to dig in the same year, or sow in early August-November to overwinter and dig in the following year. Broadcast the seed over finely-prepared soil, which has already been watered.
Cut back as necessary to encourage growth. Dig in after 50-60 days in summer, or after overwintering and 4-5 weeks before the ground is required. Cut the plants back and allow the foliage to wilt before digging in to a depth of 15-20cm (6-8").
Chop up the foliage with the spade as you dig. Overwintered crops can be dug into the soil in spring.
Ensure plants are cut back or dug in before they set seed.
Hints & Tips:

Green manure: Can be mown before flowering to extend the cover period.

Leave plants in the ground until soil is required for use, but do not let them set seed.
