i'm a farmer (bet you guessed)

rye grass and rye grain are for holding the soil in place, and clover, peas, beans (legumes) fix nitro

but you plant them together, too- the clover gives the rye N and the rye gives the clover shade

rye will soak up extra N if it's all by itself.



there are annual and perennial rye grass, too. perennial SUX!
