Cool season legume cover crop. Extraordinary yields of Nitrogen (up to 290 lb/acre) and organic matter (up to 49 tons/acre). Chokes out weeds and provides excellent habitat for beneficial insects. We developed this mix especially for vegetable rotations and general cool-weather cover cropping. Soil Builder is not filled with cheap grasses like other mixes. Contains the highest-yielding winter-hardy legumes with cayuse oats added to stabilize the soil, and to nurse and scaffold the vetches. Grows to 4'-6'.
Seed at 3-5 lb/1000 sq ft, or 70-120 lb/acre at a depth of 3/4" to 1" in September or October. In coastal or cool summer zones, Soil Builder can be spring-planted. (Raw seed, requires Pea Vetch or Garden Combination Inoculant.)
Contains: 40% Bell Beans, 20% Magnus or BioMaster Winter Peas, 30% Purple Vetch, 10% Cayuse Oats.
