When used as a cover crop, it helps prevent erosion, builds soil organic matter, improves soil tilth, captures residual nitrogen and can significantly increase the rooting depth of other crops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAnnual ryegrass is extremely versatile and can be planted as a singular cover crop, combined with other green manure species or used as a temporary lawn. It can be grazed, used as forage or tilled to add organic matter to the soil. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIt is best to mow before plants form seed heads for maximum biomass production, leaving at least 3 inches of plant height if regrowth is desired. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLate-summer to fall planting is considered the best time, however, it can also be planted in early spring. Ideally, fall planting should occur at least 50 days before the first hard freeze. Plants can be overwintered in zone 6 or warmer when planted in fall. In colder climates, the plants will be winter-killed and can be tilled just before the ground freezes or in early spring\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUntreated, Non-GEO Seed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e500g covers approximately 1000 sq. ft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e2 kg covers approximately 4000 sq. ft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garlic Boy Farms","offers":[{"title":"2 LB","offer_id":46910987665596,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 LB","offer_id":46910987698364,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 LB","offer_id":46910987731132,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/5179\/2572\/files\/AnnualRyegrass.jpg?v=1780469201","url":"https:\/\/garlicgardening.com\/products\/annual-ryegrass","provider":"Garlic Boy Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
