Got 20 Tomatoes planted in my garden area that I bedded in fall and overseeded to cereal rye as a cover crop. Rye got 6 feet tall and I cut it all down with weedwacker. Tomatoes went in with no tillage...so far, other than the damn deer eating 5 plants..i replaced, it looks like a winner way to reduce labor, grow your own weed mulch and build organic matter because Rye has such a huge root system.
And for giggles Im doing ten plants planted into rotting straw bales....deer got 2 of those as well....Electric fence is now up.
Will harvest first Cabbage today...Potatoes look super....Garden could use a week of dry out time.
