Diverse Fallow Mix
Sold out for 2024
Want to maximize soil improvement before planting your next cash crop? Designed to provide living roots in the ground for 2-3 years, this multipurpose mix builds roots down deep to improve soil structure, fixes N and accumulate minerals such as P and K. Makes a great late spring forage. If it’s mowed or grazed early, it will regrow and offer up abundant floral resources to pollinators later in the season. The synergistic root morphology of this mix is unbeatable for building healthy and abundant microbial soil communities. Broadcast or drill at ¼-½”. Use a heavier rate if broadcasting or if weed pressure is high.
