Increase Water Penetration and Add Biomass

Our mix is a special blend of “hot mustard” varieties that are known to have higher levels of these compounds.

I bought it years ago and planted this year. It germinate fast despite of about 2 years kept inside basement. It's beautiful now after six weeks. This is the first using cover crop. I will follow up the review next year.
Packaged well and arrived on time. Seed looks great and price/# is very fair. Along with other PVF cover crop mixes, this mustard mix will be the first succession to nursing my heavy clay soil back to health as food forest becomes established! Thank you!
So far I've only had the seed in my raised beds for a week and a half. The seed germinated really fast and I'm looking forward to seeing how it does.
Order arrived quickly and already germinated and starting to cover my field, will definitely purchase again.
With raised bed soil temps in the mid 50\'s, I got germination in less than a week. I only watered at planting and it has been dry and sunny for 5 days. The seed appears to emerged at near 100% of the density it was broadcast (and raked over) at
