I have poor clay soil and am interested in using cereal rye in my
veggie garden as a winter cover crop to improve it.

Has anyone tried this and what was your experience?

Also, where would one go to purchase cereal rye seeds for a relatively
small vegetable garden?

We used to call it winter Rye and local farm supply had it. They are
mostly gone now here. Johnny's is excellent a guy that loves garden
work. Hear he either turned the venture over to his employees or is
working on it.
Wish Walnut Acres was still about!
