Planting Rye for Winter

Noe was in my office last week, telling me that I should plant Rye in my garden over the winter to replace some of the nutrients in the soil.

"WHA??" I was thinking.

Lo and behold, the science behind the statement. The winter crop is a nice blanket for your garden (otherwise called a "cover crop"). Doesn't that sound sciency and everything?? Other option = Oats.

I leave today slightly less ignorant than I entered it. I should go home during lunch now.
