Non-GMO Cover Crop Mix Benefits

Cover crops are found to improve soils in several ways- by protecting existing soil, contributing Organic material and nutrients, and keeping the soil alive year-round to ensure healthy composition. All of these elements were considered in compiling this carefully chosen cover crop seed blend. There are four legumes to set nitrogen in the soil, three hardy grains for rapid cover and bio-mass, a deep-rooted radish to help break up and aerate the soil, a mustard with natural insecticidal properties, and a great collard for forage and additional biomass. This cover crop seed blend is great for either fall or spring. Recommended to till the plants in before they bear seeds. If using a no-till method, cut down (scythe, string trimmer) before the crop goes to seed.
