#2 Blend Usage:
Our 15 Seed Green Manure Cover Crop Mix is ideal for gardeners and farmers looking to improve soil health, suppress weeds, and enhance biodiversity.
 
Here's how to use it:
Soil Preparation: Clear the area of existing vegetation and debris. Lightly till the soil to create a smooth seedbed.
Sowing: Broadcast the seeds evenly across the soil. For best results, cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil or compost.
Watering: Ensure consistent moisture until germination. Once established, this mix is relatively drought-tolerant.
Growth Period: Allow the cover crops to grow for 8-12 weeks, or until they reach desired height and biomass.
Incorporation: Before the cover crops set seed, mow or chop them down. Incorporate the plant material into the soil by tilling or digging in. This will add valuable organic matter and nutrients back into the soil.
Resting Period: Allow the soil to rest for a few weeks to decompose the green manure. After this period, your soil will be ready for planting your next crop.
