Tania, your comment caught my attention. One thing that I would like clarification on is oats, buckwheat and mustard greens. I literally just got all my summer veggie beds cleared out of the peppers, tomato plants, etc. This morning we have frost. When would you plant those three things if the frost kills them?

As for winter rye, can that be planted after frost and still grow? When you cut it in the spring, do you leave the cuttings on the soil and just dig holes through the existing roots to plant tomatoes, peppers, squash, etc?

Here in Portland, I leave many of my plants in until threat of frost because some are still producing.

I used to have access to alpaca poop but my source moved 5 hours away.
