fall, and have a thick mat of
grass approximately 10 to 15
inches high in late winter.
This grass should be
shredded with a lawn mower
or flexible string trimmer,
and tilled into the soil so

Remember that the majority
of the organic material

is a case of “What you don’t

before it forms seed heads,
since sprouting rye seed in
early spring could become a
nuisance. There is no danger
of rye seeded in the fall
becoming a weed problem
