Today, I decided to dig another hole in the patch and extract some rye plants, wanted to see how and where their roots are going. Well, I am pretty sure the longest roots fell off the plants just by the weight of the soil attached, but at least some roots were friendly enough to tell me that the plants are digging their way down by more than 1 ft. For the next two weeks, the rye can continue to produce root mass, but then I need to do some next steps...prepare the planting sites and sow another cover crop (mustard) in some places.
