Plant an Orchard Cover Crop with Rye and Oats
Horticulturist M. E. K Hays of Texas A&M Extension advises planting a cover crop to restore fertility and prevent soil erosion after heavy rains. Sow rye preferred, or oats or wheat, from September 1 to 15, grow tall, plow under next spring, and avoid maturing grain in the orchard. It should be grazed lightly in winter with no grain stock to protect trees.

Mexican Onyx Deposits Form Scenic Calcium Carbonate Masses
When waters rich in calcium carbonate evaporate, they leave behind deposits of carbonate. The process yields masses of striking beauty formed from limestone-derived mineral content.
Geologic formations shape ornamental stone types
The text notes stalactite and stalagmite formation in limestone caves and springs, with Mexico onyx formed similarly. Color and texture vary due to impurities like mud and iron oxide, influencing its appeal as an ornament.
