I planted this in the last week of November - late for around here - and frankly, had planned to incorporate it sooner than I am going to, but time and weather have not been on my side. I think given the late planting date, it has performed better than expected.

We use winter rye in our garden. I let it get between 2 and 3 ft tall, then either roll it or cut it and then plow and disc. Stuff is amazing. There is noticeably less weeding since we started that and soil is full of earthworms.

I had planned on getting to it at about 2ft high, but.... I'd agree that weeds are suppressed. Buckwheat had a similar effect, but you get a lot of volunteer buckwheat!

@@froghairfarm Good to know! I've never tried buckwheat. Also I really enjoy your tractor videos. I collect vintage garden tractors mostly since I only have a small plot of land but recently picked up a Massey Harris and a Ferguson Pony for restoration projects. Growing up we did market gardening and between using a 101jr, Super M and 9n I caught the old tractor bug LOL.

If buckwheat smells dirt, it grows! The Pony's are fun little tractors and I may have the same illness, possibly.

@jeremydavis2595 - at one point years ago we had about 25 acres of strawberries, plus sweet corn, etc. We ran a Ferguson 35, Case VAC, and a MH22. On the "regular" farm ground mostly larger MF tractors, but we had a Farmall MD that was a favorite, super efficient and the fastest on the road.

The plow would bury it😁

@froghairfarm 3 месяца назад

For sure - I didn’t want to bring the tractor and plow in for that but now I remember I have a one bottom that would be just right for the little tractors I have here - or…. Find a Ferguson 2 bottom 🤭 hmmmmm

Try some sweet clover I want to try some lentils for a covercrop rye is ok if you dont get it to ripe it can self pollinate and raise hell for years in a dryer climate.

I’ve been thinking of sweet clover and have the seed but that stuff is good at self seeding too! Hehe
