"dps" wrote in message ... Every year is different. It is possible that it will be warm enough to get winter rye started that late in your area, but unlikely that you will see much growth before the ground freezes. The rye will grow again in the spring, but you will lose some of the major advantages of the cover crop: nitrogen storage and erosion control. rye stores nitrogen? is it a legume? |
