Collection: Orchard & Vineyard Mixes
Improve the health of your soil with our cover crop seeds!Plant field-proven annual mixes in orchards and vineyards for exceptional vigor, weed competitiveness, and nitrogen fixation.
- Mow during the season to maximize biomass yields and regrowth.
- Growth peaks in April or May depending on climate and rainfall; they do not compete with the production crop.
- Excellent “good bug” habitat, reducing leafhoppers, mites, thrips, skeletonizers, aphids, and other pests.
- We offer two different formulations to address specific situations.
- Drill seed in alleys at 40–50 lb/acre on medium to strong soils, 60–70 lb if vigor and/or fertility are low.
- For new plantings or poor soil, use 80–100 lb/acre
- For smaller areas, plant at 2-3 lb per 1000 sq Ft.
Important Note: Seeds should be kept to the alleys so the vetch will climb the oats, as intended, rather than the trees or vines.
Reasons to Buy Our Organic Seeds
Grown Without Synthetic Pesticides
Conventionally grown seeds come from plants that grew in the fields even longer than food crops and are likely to have had even more exposure to synthetic pesticides and fungicides to keep them viable as seed producers. Organic seeds are produced without the use of synthetic pesticides and fungicides.
Certified Organic
Our Peaceful Valley brand vegetable seeds are CCOF & USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO and Open-Pollinated (with the exception of hybrid seeds). You can be sure that the crops grown from our seeds are of the highest quality.
Guaranteed to Germinate
Our Peaceful Valley brand vegetable seeds are guaranteed to germinate! If they do not, just contact us and we'll be happy to replace them.
