A well balanced blend for optimum fertility. Similar to the Cool Season Mix but with an addition of Vetch for extra nitrogen fixing qualities and added biomass. 

Growing a cover crop (aka Green Manure) is a wonderful way to build soil organic matter, protect the soil against erosion, fix nitrogen, provide habitat for beneficial insects & pollinators and so much more! We typically plant cool season cover crops after harvesting the last of the summer garden which is typically in October here in Oregon. Alternately, they can be planted as early in late winter or early spring as possible.  

This mixture of cool season varieties is a proven mix that we use here on our farm and in gardens. The cereal grain sprout quickly and provide a vertical scaffold for the peas and vetch to climb. The peas sprout quickly and provides fast growth and coverage and abundant nitrogen fixation. A cereal grain and legume mix can grow from 2 to 5 tons (!!!) of biomass per acre, that's 40-100 pounds for a 100 square foot area.
