Peaceful Valley General Purpose Erosion Mix - Nitrocoated Seed (lb)

Peaceful Valley General Purpose Erosion Mix is a fast-establishing annual blend for protecting disturbed soil, slopes, bare areas, orchard alleys, and seasonal pasture. Annual ryegrass, common barley, crimson clover, and rose clover combine quick grass roots with legume ground cover to reduce exposed soil during the cool growing season.

Plant in fall for the best use of seasonal moisture. Prepare the site by controlling existing weeds and loosening or roughening compacted soil. Broadcast evenly, rake or cover the seed lightly, and press the surface to improve seed-to-soil contact. On slopes, straw or another appropriate erosion-control cover can help limit movement before germination. This seed mix supports erosion control but does not replace engineered stabilization where slopes or post-fire conditions present a serious failure risk.

The grasses provide rapid fibrous rooting and forage structure, while the clovers add flowering diversity and biological nitrogen fixation. Suitability for grazing depends on stand maturity, site conditions, and livestock management; avoid grazing until seedlings are firmly anchored.
