Cover crops blends are a mix of grasses, legumes, and other forbs that are planted to control erosion, improve soil structure, moisture, and nutrition content.  It increases beneficial soil biota, suppresses weeds, and provides habitat for beneficial predatory insects, and facilitates crop pollinators. Cover crops provide an energy saving by adding nitrogen to the soil and makes more soil nutrients available, therefore, reducing the need to apply fertilizers. 

Learn more about cover crops here.  

After harvesting, use our cover crop blend to prepare soil for the next year.

Contains what you will need for a 10' x 10' garden. 

8 oz. of fallow mix of cover crop seed.
