Fothergills Green Manure Winter Rye Seeds

Secale cereale 'Winter Rye' offers a superb solution for enriching garden soils. This robust, fast-growing cereal grass establishes rapidly, forming a dense sward that effectively suppresses weeds. As a winter green manure, its extensive root system improves soil structure, enhancing drainage and aeration, while preventing nutrient leaching during colder months. When incorporated in spring, it contributes valuable organic matter, fostering a healthy microbial environment and releasing essential nutrients for subsequent crops. A highly beneficial addition to any sustainable cultivation system.
