I plant cereal rye and hairy vetch as a winter crop and mow it down in the spring.Last year I did that and then planted tomato plants right into it.Just dug each hole and put the dirt in a 5 gal. bucket and made sure the soil was very loose.Put cottonseed meal in the bottom of the hole and planted the tomato plants deep.You should be able to find the rye seed at your local feed store.It will stay green though the winter months and start growing when the temps get onto the 40's in the spring.Check with your local feed store and find out what's best for your region.
