Used for both a spring and fall cover crop, New Zealand White Clover can be sown between row plantings or as a solid seeded cover. The addition of organic matter builds soil structure, which increases water absorption and nutrient-holding capacity, buffers...

They can also be grown as a perennial in orchards and vineyards. Winter wheat is an exceptional, inexpensive and fast growing cover crop that suppresses weeds and disease with its allelopathic effect.

Specialized equipment, which is often needed for terminating (mowing and incorporating) perennial cover crops, is not necessary. Mixed to meet our farm manager's preferred percentages of 70% peas and 30% oats.

These cover crops are nature's great nutrient recyclers. In mild climates (zones 6 and above), cover crops can be fall planted and tilled in the following spring just before planting.

For maximum nitrogen yields, legumes should be incorporated into the soil at peak bloom. Cereal grains and grasses grow very quickly and provide quick ground cover. This way they obtain biomass from the triticale, nitrogen from the winter pea, and together...

Typical nitrogen produced is 100 lbs. Sow with or without grain, grass or field peas! When sown late summer, spring regrowth is vigorous and nitrogen-producing, for tilling in before planting the spring garden crops.

Upon turning under the crop, nitrogen and other elements are released or recycled back just underneath the soil surface so the next crop can utilize the nitrogen that once was beyond reach and leaching away.

Cowpeas are great for drying and canning. Bush type cowpea producing heavy yields of purple pods. Referred to as a “Knuckle Hull” because of the big, plump peas. Try with for maximum Nitrogen fixation.

They can provide a tremendous amount of biomass that not only smothers weeds and prevents soil erosion, but also puts huge amounts of green matter, or green manure, back into the soil which improves the soil's tilth.

Turnips have a high leaf to stem ratio and and provide very high concentrations of protein, sugar content and leaf yields. Barkant turnips are an improved, early maturing, diploid turnip with a large purple tankard shaped bulb.

The leaves are trifoliate with a long petiole, each leaflet hairy, 8-16 mm across, with a truncated or bilobed apex. * It has been introduced into the United States, originally as forage for cattle.

It provides rapid growth of green mass that chokes out weeds and provides organic matter content to the soil. Winter rye is the most popular winter cover crop. Packet will cover from 100 to 200 square feet.
