Proper fall care of gardens is key to reducing weeds and increasing yields in the following season. A key step is to sow a cover crop to condition the soil and combat weeds. Winter grains like rye are an effective choice for providing these benefit. Due to the difficulty of providing programming in the COVID environment, the County Extension Agent for Agriculture & Natural Resources and the ANR program assistant assembled bags for contactless pickup by Johnson County home gardeners. The bag included a package of rye seed sufficient for 1000 square feet and educational publications about how and when to sow the cover crop. A total of 30 bags were given out to county residents over two days.
