This is a shot of my late set plants. My spring sown rye is now gone and has been worked into the soil. I really like the spring sown rye. It creates more of a low growing ground cover that never really gets as fibrous as the fall sown winter rye, So it breaks down quickly. The only thing I don't like about it is that you don't have anything to hold the soil in place over the winter. This year I will just leave the old weeds and vines until spring. That will give the soil some protection. I am not convinced that removing the plant debris makes any difference. At least I have not seen any difference. I know many books would say differently. If I always did what the books told me to I don't think I would have learned anything over the years. It is our experiences, that give us wisdom.
