How do you look after rye?

To care for rye, plant it in well-drained, fertile soil in a site with full sun. Sow seeds in early spring or fall. Water regularly, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer to encourage growth. Prevent weed competition with mulching or cultivation. For diseases, use appropriate fungicides, and rotate crops annually to reduce pest build-up. Monitor for pests and apply suitable control methods if needed.
