Description
A cover crop mix of 12 species of seed, non-GMO, all natural and made in the U.S.A. Almost 60% of it is clover seed, from 4 types of clover. The recipe has been tweaked over the years, and the mix suits raised beds and container plants.

What it does
- Designed to encourage mycorrhizal fungi populations
- Stimulates soil biological activity
- Cycles nutrients more effectively
- Creates a living mulch and a no-till living organic soil, using all natural, non-GMO cover crop seeds
Small seeds work well in containers.
How to use
Use about 6 grams or 1/2 tablespoon of cover crop seed for every square foot of soil surface area.
- A 5 gallon bucket is 13" in diameter and just under 1 square foot. With 5-10 gallon containers, a 3 lb bag will work for about 150 individual containers.
- Broadcasting on open land, each pound will cover about 900 square feet.
- A 2 pound bag would also cover over 55 (8'x4') raised beds.
