@finleyfarmsmo is growing straw mulch in place! @finleyfarmsmo is growing straw mulch in place! "Farmer Brendan is out in the fields crimping rye—a cover crop to protect and nourish the soil between growing seasons. Crimping helps naturally terminate the rye, creating a protective mulch layer that helps retain soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and feeds the soil with organic matter. The roots will decompose slowly over time without disturbing the soil."Have you used rye as a cover crop?
