The upper and lower thirds of the garden have been mowed, but because I have more than just winter rye I have chosen to cover the mowed areas with commercial grade weed barrier. This will block out the sunlight while still allowing water to pass through. The advantage is a great way to kill the cover crop without the need for herbicides and it should limit passes with the tiller to only two.

The left side is the finished look and the lower side just has the barrier initially rolled out but not unfolded so you can see the comparison of before and after.
