Rye

Secale cereale L. Rye is a hardy, fast-growing grain prized for its adaptability, vigorous growth, and excellent cold tolerance. This variety has its hull intact and is grown as a cover crop, soil improvement, animal fodder or forage, and as our favorite use-- a mushroom substrate! Rye produces tall green stalks that help suppress weeds and prevent erosion while enriching the soil. Easy to grow in a wide range of conditions, it thrives in cool weather and provides dependable growth from fall through spring. Planting Instructions: Sow Rye seed outdoors 1/4"-1/2" deep, 2-4" apart in early fall. Harvest the following spring. Seed Saving Instructions: Select robust plants for seed saving. When fully dry, cut seedheads into a bucket. Store seeds in a cool, dark and dry place. Approx 100 Rye seeds per packet
