I only grew Hungarian Rye once. I chopped it down a bit to make it less unwieldy.  And then just dug it in.

But it was a pig to dig in - clumps galore, and it took absolutely weeks to rot down.

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I’ve learnt from my mistakes. So I would start early, and then cover in light cardboard(Jan-Feb)and then cover with compost. Then grow phacelia(March), and have courgette/butternut/gourd family, placed in the middle of it(May).

It’s just that it’s a ruddy nightmare to dig in. So make your life easy.
