Green Manure/Cover Crop

[sparking]

Hi There!

I have an area that I am in the EARLY stages of landscaping (no plan yet). :)Since winter is almost on us and I ran out of time, I need to throw some seed on it for erosion control.
Thought I can also control weeds some, add nutrients and make it alittle more attractive w/ a green manure such as winter wheat, buckwheat or similiar. Any suggestions?

This is at a rental so I would like it to look somewhat attractive. I heard winter wheat can be mowed and look as attractive as grass, but that is the reason I have been using round-up and tilling this area-I have too much to mow.

Thanks,
Sparking

Sorry, didn't give enough details in my original post. Also, I refreshed my memory and see buckwheat is a summer crop.

The area is 12,000 sq ft on loam/sandy soil w/ a slight slope. Looks like winter wheat or winter rye may be the two most commom choices.

Thanks Again,
Sparking

I'm not sure this is the right forum to get all the attention you might want on this question. What is your ultimate goal for a lawn? What are you going to use it for? How much traffic will it get? What are you prepared to do to care for it?
