Why Use a Cover Crop?

A diverse mix of plant species with varying rooting depths helps maintain soil nutrients and keeps your soil healthy in areas that would otherwise remain bare. Cover crops offer multiple benefits, including:

🐞 Weed Suppression – Reduces weed competition by covering open soil.
🐞 Erosion Control – Protects soil from wind and water erosion.
🐞 Soil Health – Adds organic matter and improves soil structure.
🐞 Nutrient Boost – Deep-rooted cereals enhance soil aeration, while nitrogen-fixing legumes enrich fertility.
🐞 Pollinator & Beneficial Insect Habitat – Supports a thriving ecosystem in your garden.

By incorporating cover crops, you’re investing in healthier, more resilient soil for future growing seasons!

Planting Instructions:

🌱Seed mix mid-May to mid-June by scattering onto soil and raking or lightly harrowing in. Aim for a seeding depth of ¾ to 1 inch (no more than 1.5 inches).

🌱40-50 days after seeding, step on, cut down, or flatten plants and let regrow. To avoid volunteers the following year, ensure plants are terminated before setting seed.

🌱Grow your garden as usual the following year and replant another section of it to this cover crop!
