## Description

desertcart.com : Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Tuff Turf Winter Rye for Lawn No Till Food Plot Seed Fall Cover Crop Mix (5 lbs | 10 lbs | 15 lbs | 20 lbs) (1 lb) : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: It germinates quickley and most of the seeds have germinated. - I used it for to cover several large bare areas in my yard to prevent erosion until l plant my lawn with a warm weather grass such as Bermuda. As a cover grass it has sprouted pretty fast with little preparation except a shallow rake in. I think it will do well until I replant. I understand that it fixes nitrogen and is good for the new grass once it’s tilled in. I will have to see how it does in the early spring.
Review: Need a spreader - Easy spreading

## Features

- Winter Hardiness: As the name suggests, winter rye is well-suited for planting in the fall and can survive cold winter temperatures. It establishes a cover on the soil during the winter months when other crops may not be growing
- Green Manure: When winter rye is terminated (killed or incorporated into the soil) before it goes to seed, it acts as a green manure. As the plant material decomposes, it adds organic matter to the soil, enhancing soil fertility.
- Planting a winter rye food plot for deer and turkey can be a strategic and effective way to attract and sustain wildlife on your property. Here are some tips for establishing a winter rye food plot that benefits both deer and turkey
- Soil Structure Improvement: The deep roots of winter rye can help break up compacted soil, improving soil structure and promoting better water infiltration.
- Nutrient Scavenging: Winter rye has an extensive root system that can scavenge and accumulate nutrients from deeper soil layers. When the cover crop is later incorporated into the soil, these nutrients become available for subsequent crops.
- Erosion Control: The dense growth of winter rye helps prevent soil erosion by covering the soil surface and stabilizing it with its root system. This is particularly important during the winter when bare soil is vulnerable to erosion from wind and water.
