Description
Winter wheat, field peas, annual rye grass, red clover, and hairy vetch combine for extreme soil conditioning. Field peas and crimson clover grow quickly in autumn and provide late-season forage for pollinators. These legume crops fix nitrogen in the soil, converting nitrogen from the air into a form usable by plants. Field peas and crimson clover are killed by winter temperatures, leaving a rich layer of organic matter to feed soils and protect against erosion. Winter wheat provides dense cover that lasts through the winter months. The deep, extensive root system improves soil tilth (structure) and alleviates compaction. Hairy vetch also fixes nitrogen in the soil and provides abundant organic matter. This winter-hardy cover crop blooms in spring. Mow just prior to blooming to kill plants in advance of spring planting. Sow fall cover crop mix in late summer or early fall for vigorous late season growth.

Awesome quick growing cover crop
"This cover crop germinated quickly and is growing really well in my super compacted clay soil. I'm surprised at how well it is doing even though my dogs have walked all over the seeds and new growth. I'm excited to see what my soil looks like in the spring after I terminate the cover crop and leave it as mulch over winter."
Ground cover mix
"I applied the ground cover mix in early October and fertilized and watered and 10 days later I have a nice green mix growing in my garden to nitrite the soil. The seed arrived in nice packaging and was easy to apply, also not too pricey, I am very satisfied & will be a return customer"
Works great
"A good mix of various seeds to winter through until spring. I use more than instructed for a thick cover. I however put off tilling in the spring for too long. A mistake I will not let happen again. Good product."
