Winter Rye can be planted later than other winter cover crops. Winter rye can help break up muddy, clay like soil.Winter Rye is an annual in most zones, but prefers colder areas. Winter rye returns many valuable nutrients to the soil, including nitrogen. Excessive sunlight in the spring will cause the rye to flower. Rye should be planted with other legume cover crops such as Hairy Vetch, or White Dutch Clover. Cut before the seeds have set for mulch. For green manure, till into soil at any stage of growth.
