I had some bare spots around my place so I threw down handfuls of rye seed and it grew about 2" tall before winter. It stayed green all winter and now that spring is arriving, it has shot up!
Leaving the roots in the ground to break down, I just grab big handfuls and rip it off near the base to sprinkle in with my poopy quail straw. My uncle says its a good cover crop and good for the soil, so I thought I'd try it in my compost!

I did. that as well!
You can mow the rye to get a second (and third) harvest of organic material, cause it’ll grow back.
Just mow as high as you can
