Question regarding winter wheat as green manure

[Joey Wahoo]

I sowed winter wheat as green manure in a garden last fall. I intend to keep the garden in green manure all year. At what point should I mow down and plow under the wheat?

Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks

I would do it just before it starts to head out, that way you have a lot of plant material.

I agree with unioncreek. If you let it go too long it will get woody like and take longer to break down.
