Grows great in SE Alaska

Have grown this mix for about 5 years. Near 18" growth in 6 weeks under cool and moist conditions and tasty pea shoots a bonus.

Best for my hoop houses

This is my preferred cold season ground cover-green manure seed - providing so much precious fertility and organic matter not just outside in the field, but inside my hoop houses. I have used it for years - Thank you PVFS for keeping it in stock.

Grows year round in southern California

Sprouts and grows well 365 days a year in coastal southern California (10 miles inland, zone 23). Never used the premium SBM and don't need to. This stuff is great. We also use buckwheat in the summer but this is our primary cover crop. It has a nice mix of legumes and grains. The vetch is pretty if we let it bloom and the mix is a consistent performer. Never had any germination issues due to seed quality.
