August 2, 2023Q.Where To Purchase Rye Seeds In Smaller Quantities Than Half A Tonne!
I’m based in the UK and want to produce Rye wheat so that I can make my own bread. I cannot find a single producer in the UK they will sell me some seeds. Can you recommend somewhere that might? Thanks in advance.

October 28, 2023Q.Winter Rye
I was only able to purchase perennial rye grass. I want to use it for a winter cover crop and till it under in the spring. Is this the correct appliction for a green manure versus an annual rye grass.

Certified ExpertA.You need the annual rye grass because the perennial will come back. Even if you till it under any remaining roots will regrow.

February 16, 2025Q.Perennial Rye Grass
I live in North Florida, hot summers cool winters. I spread 150lbs annual rye seed in fall, it burns off in late spring. Can I spread perrinial rye in the same manner in the fall? Soil is very sandy, but grass is well established. I fertilize 150 lbs 15x15x15 three times a year. This so I will have a green lawn year round. Thank you for you assistance.

Certified ExpertA.You can use an improved/perennial rye but it likely will still die out as temperatures rise. Here is more:
