I am aware that mustard likes temps of above 55 or so degrees but i've also found that mustard will servive down to 26 F. I really want to clense my soil and I was wondering, in about 6-8 weeks, with high temps of about 65 F and lows of about 35-40F, would I be able to get enough biomass as to thouroughly clense the soil once I till the cover crop in? Thanks!

Chris,

I did notice some fungis on the soil and the soil is getting old, but now that i think about it i think i will do rye. Thanks.

Good deal Ash ;) From what I've been told, don't plant it unless you have a disease issue.

Fungus is not diseased soil. Dead plants is diseased soil. There is an important difference.

Whats worse case if planting Mustard when you are not sure. Seems like every year around august my plants stop but there is no sign of identifiable Disease. I was planning on planting Mustard but now I wonder if I should. Any advise greatly appreciated.
