Peas, Oats, Vetch Garden Cover Crop Mix

Peas, Oats, Vetch Garden Cover Crop Mix

Do you plant a garden each year and find that by fall, it becomes overrun with weeds, or maybe you till it at the end of the year and leave your soil bare for six months? This year, consider enhancing your garden's health by planting a cover crop in the Spring, Late Summer, or Fall. This cover crop will help fix nitrogen in the soil, suppress weeds, increase biomass, and offer numerous other benefits.

• This cover crop will help fix your soil's nitrogen, suppress weeds, and increase your garden's biomass 
• Nitrogen Fixation: This mix includes two types of legumes, hairy vetch and winter peas. These naturally set nitrogen in the soil, promoting plant growth and improving soil health.
• Biomass: This blend of three distinct seeds will significantly boost the biomass in your soil, enriching it naturally and effectively.
• Weed Suppression: This mix establishes rapidly and provides dense coverage, effectively shading out weeds and minimizing their growth.
