Cereal Rye (Secale cereale) is one of the most dependable and widely planted cool-season cover crops in North America, prized for its adaptability, vigor, and exceptional soil-building qualities. This hardy annual thrives in a wide range of climates and soil types, germinating in temperatures as low as 34°F—making it one of the few cover crops that can establish late in the fall or even through winter in milder regions.

Growing up to 5–6 feet tall, Cereal Rye develops a dense fibrous root system that penetrates deeply into the soil, improving structure, reducing compaction, and capturing residual nitrogen that might otherwise leach away. Above ground, its thick canopy quickly shades out weeds and provides excellent erosion control on slopes or bare ground. Once terminated, its substantial biomass breaks down into a rich straw mulch, protecting the soil surface and moderating temperature and moisture.

Though not a nitrogen fixer itself, Cereal Rye pairs exceptionally well with legumes like hairy vetch or crimson clover. Together, these combinations balance nitrogen capture and release—rye absorbing excess nitrogen while legumes contribute fresh, plant-available forms.

To prevent nitrogen tie-up, mow or till the cover early in spring before the seed heads mature. Whether for weed suppression, erosion control, or livestock forage, Cereal Rye remains a cornerstone of sustainable, resilient farming systems.

  • Application Rate: 90-160 lb/acre
  • Inoculant: NA
  • Plant Height: 5'-6'
  • Uses: Weed competition, erosion control, nitrogen absorbing root system, straw, attracts beneficials, forage
  • Facts to Note: Pair with other nitrogen-fixing legumes. Can germinate in soil temperatures as low as 34°F. Seed from late summer to midfall in zones 3-7 and from fall to midwinter in zones 8 and higher. Mow or till early to minimize nitrogen tie-up.

It’s great for the bathroom.
Color: Gold-aa
It’s great. I use it in all my bathrooms. It’s easy to change the paper. It fits on the tank and dresses it up.

Good Product, Fair Price
Color: Gold-aa
I bought this for my guest bathroom where I have some other brass items and it fits right in. Easy assembly with the supplied Allen wrench and bolt, and it comes with a cover for the bolt hole which perfectly matches the base padding material so the assembly point becomes invisible. It doesn’t have a ‘towel unroll preventer’ but I knew that when I evaluated the reasonable sale price and decided that wasn’t important for the intended use. The base is heavy and the assembled item seems very sturdy. I found it weird that this towel holder came with a plastic box containing a fork and a spoon as a ‘gift’ but this will go in my car camping cookware bag. I don’t know how the brass finish will hold up over time but for now I’m very pleased.

Fantastic paper towel holder!
Color: Sliver
Very sturdy, with a weighted bottom & it holds larger rolls. I put select-a-size triplet rolls on mine. It’s a nice looking one too. Compliments a stainless kitchen nicely.
