Question about Winter Rye

Recommended Posts

Wheel Horse Kid

Hello,

Last fall I planted winter rye for the first time as a ground cover for my garden.

I was just wondering when you guys would reccomend that I till it in to the soil and also how many times should I go over it with the tiller? I read somewhere that it has a chemical that can kill your plants, so I want to make sure that I get it broken down really well before I plant.

Thanks!

It should be dry enough to till it in right now. I would till it until it's mulched up good then till again in a week if it's dry enough.
