Like all heirloom spring grains, one major advantage of organic spring wheat is that it starts growing right away in the spring, so you will not get stuck in spring moisture trying to plant. Non-GMO Organic hard red spring wheat must sprout and grow in the fall, then go through a period of vernalization to produce grain the following summer. This is why it is important to seed heirloom spring wheat early enough for it to establish.

Heirloom winter rye seeds are also grown to break up heavy, clay-rich soils to bolster erosion control while allowing future spring crops, especially root vegetables, to experience no soil competition. Winter rye can also slow the germination of surrounding weeds and plants through allelopathy, which helps defend against weed growth, unwanted reseeding, and invasive species. Heirloom winter rye is more drought-tolerant than other cereal grains and can act as a \"green manure\" mulch; the biomass is tilled back into the soil for Organic-rich spring garden soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWholesale Non-GMO Winter Rye Cover Crop Seeds Per Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 oz - Approximately 1125 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 lb - Approximately 18,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 lb - Bulk Seeds - Approximately 90,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 lb - Bulk Seeds - Approximately 450,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-GMO Winter Rye cover crop seeds are available for \u003cstrong\u003eFast Free Shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e on qualified orders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"1 Oz Packet","offer_id":39402393665651,"sku":"44941","price":2.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb Bag","offer_id":39402393239667,"sku":"44940","price":9.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb Bag","offer_id":38910929352,"sku":"11454","price":12.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 lb Bag","offer_id":38910929608,"sku":"11453","price":42.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/Winter-Rye_6b5b94a8-6afc-4b41-a860-5f1487ba25c2.jpg?v=1762440334"},{"product_id":"garden-cover-crop-mix","title":"Garden Cover Crop Seed Mix - All-Purpose, Pre-Inoculated","description":"\u003cp\u003e30- 70 days.

All of these elements were considered in compiling this carefully chosen cover crop seed blend. There are four legumes to set nitrogen in the soil, three hardy grains for rapid cover and biomass, a deep-rooted radish to help break up and aerate the soil, a mustard with natural insecticidal properties, and a great collard for forage and additional biomass. This cover crop seed blend is great for either fall or spring. Recommended to till the plants in before they bear seeds.

White Gold glucosinolates work to suppress weeds. Kodiak and Pacific Gold glucosinolates are biologically active against insects, some nematodes, and fungal pathogens, such as sclerotinia and Verticillium wilt. Mustard cover crops help significantly control pests because they contain more glucosinolates than other brassicas, and this chemical compound wards off harmful insects, especially when plant cells rupture when the plants are mowed down. Known for their rapid fall growth, mustard makes a great weed suppressor because weeds don't have a chance to take off the soil and grow.

Fall-planted fava beans will mature quickly to supplement depleted nitrogen, but will not fruit until 8-9 months after garden sowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWholesale Non-GMO Organic Fava Bean Cover Crop Garden Seeds Per Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 lb - Bulk Seeds - Approximately 240 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 lb - Bulk Seeds - Approximately 1,200 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 lb - Bulk Seeds - Approximately 6,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeirloom Organic fava bean cover crop garden seeds are available for \u003cstrong\u003efast, free shipping \u003c\/strong\u003eon orders over $60.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sustainable Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":31967737970803,"sku":"41147","price":11.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":31967738003571,"sku":"41228","price":34.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 lb","offer_id":31967738036339,"sku":"41229","price":127.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/1676051454_CopyofSustainable-WM-Black_600x600px_72_1222x1222_9f679761-6dcb-44de-b622-0d058fe82af4.jpg?v=1764633691"},{"product_id":"green-lentils-organic-cover-crop-seeds","title":"Green Lentil - Organic - Cover Crop Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003e80-100 Days. \u003cem\u003eLens culinaris\u003c\/em\u003e.

Oats have fibrous roots and can be sown earlier in the spring than many other annuals, allowing this plant to collect and reuse an abundance of soil nitrates in a short amount of time. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertified Organic.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead more about Cover Crops:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/cover-crop\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGet Your Free Cover Crop Growing Guide!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSelect a Different Use for This Seed:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"profile-links\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/whole-oat-grain-seed-Organic?variant=38639425736\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/mini-planter.png?7806549514162137824\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eGrass\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Organic Whole Oats Cover Crop Garden Seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!--attr--\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eAvena sativa\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeding Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~ 30-100 lbs per acre. 1 -2 lbs per 1000 sq. ft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Planting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2\" deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broadcast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright grass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrow Temp Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38-50°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarden Light Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePests\/Diseases\/Troubleshooting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!--endattr--\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Organic Whole Oats Cover Crop Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOat seeds are sown in the spring as a companion cover crop that benefits legumes and boosts their nutrients, such as winter peas. Oat cover crops can be planted as winterlong covers that you can let stand and die off without termination. These plants also make an ideal cover crop for suppressing weeds. When it comes time to harvest, some gardeners let their oats stand and die back on their own. This way, the plants can become a low-maintenance soil cover that will continue to decompose throughout winter and provide fertile ground for your spring planting. However, be aware that some viable seeds may be left to germinate next season. To avoid this, you can harvest the mature crops through a low-mow method, or by using a no-till roller crimper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow oat seeds in either fall for an early autumn harvest, or in the spring for a late summer harvest. It is recommended to sow 6 to 10 weeks before your region's final frost, as oats are frost hardy and can withstand cold temperatures as low as 5-10°F. Germination takes about 3 weeks, as oat plants sprout quickly. These plants prefer moist, well-drained soil and require more watering than other grains, growing up to 4 feet tall and maturing around 60 days. If you decide to terminate as your harvesting method, you can use a non-tilling method such as adding an herbicide that's compatible with the type of crop you want to plant next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhole Oat Cover Crop Benefits:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOats grown as cover crops are ideal for controlling weeds and softening your soil, and they also draw in substantial amounts of nitrogen through their fibrous root system.

Keep your bean plants free of dust buildup and surround them with a variety of plants to help deter and prevent pest damage. Beans are also susceptible to powdery mildew, bean blight, rust, and root rot. Maintain a regular watering schedule that avoids overly saturated soil. The roots need adequate time to air out between waterings. This will also help prevent common fungal and bacterial diseases from developing.

They should be planted as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring, or in mild winter climates, they can be sown in fall for a spring harvest. It's best to sow fava beans because they don't transplant well directly. They thrive in temperatures between 60°F and 65°F.

Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Mulching around the base of the plants can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.

Pods should be full and firm, with a slight sheen. The best time to harvest is when the beans inside the pods are about the size of a small marble and are still tender. Fava beans are typically grown as a shelling variety, meaning they are harvested for the beans inside the pod rather than eating the entire pod. Use scissors or pruners to cut pods from the plant. After harvesting, the beans can be shelled by opening the pods and removing the seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Bell Fava Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFava beans are native to the Mediterranean region.

To harvest seed for oil, wait until late summer after flowering. Ideally, you should start gathering seeds when 30-40 percent of the pods on the main stem have turned color, which typically happens in August. Each pod holds 20-40 seeds. For commercial production, direct-combining is used, but cutting and swathing are preferred. Generally, canola for oil production is grown in an agricultural setting because of the volume of plant material required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo harvest the foliage, wait until the plant reaches about 2-3 feet tall. Then, using a sharp knife or scissors, cut away the leaves and stems as needed. These leaves are commonly used in stir-fries, soups, or with meat and seasonings. When cooked, the leaves will wrinkle as spinach does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRapeseed in the Vegetable Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRape can be a valuable addition to the cool-season home garden as a leafy green. Like other plants of the Brassica family, such as broccoli, cauliflower, kale, mustard, etc., rape does well during the cool spring and fall temperatures. Just be sure to get your harvest before freezing temperatures set in. I recommend also growing these nutritious greens throughout the year as sprouts and microgreens. Growing these stages is extremely easy to do indoors, as they require little to no light. If you enjoy adding a little bit of a spicy kick to your foods but find mustard or kale to be a little much, rapeseed is the perfect alternative, as it has just enough spice to add flavor without becoming too overpowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRapeseed as a Cover Crop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to its use as a sprout, microgreen, vegetable, and oil crop, rapeseed can be used as a cover crop to improve soil conditions. Because of its natural benefits and differing root structure, it is ideal for inclusion in small cereal grain rotations. As a cover crop, it helps to reduce soil compaction and increase tilth. Plant in the spring when the soil is workable or in the fall at least 6 weeks before your first fall frost. Cut and till back into the soil at least 2 weeks before planting another crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Rapeseed Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapeseed can be categorized into two different types. First, Industrial rapeseed is high in erucic acid in the oil (45 percent) and contains notable levels of glucosinolates. Second, Canola has a low erucic acid oil content (less than 2 percent) and only traces of glucosinolates. Canola was registered in Canada in 1979 to differentiate the edible crop commonly known for its use as a heat-tolerant cooking oil from its non-edible counterpart. The name ‘Canola’ was made as an abbreviation for Canadian Oil Low Acid, also known as “double-low.” While these two types of rapeseed are used differently, their seeds appear identical.

Be sure to sow in a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Water immediately after planting. Throughout the season, keep the soil moist but not wet. Canola can be sensitive to overwatering. Because hot weather can stress these plants, it is important to provide enough water during the hot summer months. Rapeseed can tolerate some saline soils, making it a good option for growth across much of the United States, including coastal land. This spring type is most commonly grown in northern regions, including Canada and North Dakota.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Organic Canola Rapeseed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause every part of this plant can be used, the harvesting process depends on your growing purpose. To harvest seed for oil, wait until late summer after flowering. Ideally, you should start gathering seeds when 30-40 percent of the pods on the main stem have turned color, which typically happens in August. Each pod holds 20-40 seeds. For commercial production, direct-combining is used, but cutting and swathing are preferred. Generally, canola for oil production is grown in an agricultural setting because of the volume of plant material required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo harvest the rapeseed foliage, wait until the plant reaches about 2-3 feet tall. Then, using a sharp knife or scissors, cut away the leaves and stems as needed. These leaves are commonly used in stir-fries, soups, or with meat and seasonings. When cooked, the leaves will wrinkle as spinach does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRapeseed in the Vegetable Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRape can be a valuable addition to the cool-season home garden as a leafy green. Like other plants of the Brassica family, such as broccoli, cauliflower, kale, mustard, etc., rape does well during the cool spring and fall temperatures. Just be sure to get your harvest before freezing temperatures set in. I recommend also growing these nutritious greens throughout the year as sprouts and microgreens. Growing these stages is extremely easy to do indoors, as they require little to no light. If you enjoy adding a little bit of a spicy kick to your foods but find mustard or kale to be a little much, rapeseed is the perfect alternative, as it has just enough spice to add flavor without becoming too overpowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRapeseed as a Cover Crop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to its use as a sprout, microgreen, vegetable, and oil crop, rapeseed can be used as a cover crop to improve soil conditions. Because of its natural benefits and differing root structure, it is ideal for inclusion in small cereal grain rotations. As a cover crop, it helps to reduce soil compaction and increase tilth. Plant in the spring when the soil is workable or in the fall at least 6 weeks before your first fall frost. Cut and till back into the soil at least 2 weeks before planting another crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Organic Rapeseed Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapeseed can be categorized into two different types. First, Industrial rapeseed is high in erucic acid in the oil (45 percent) and contains notable levels of gluscosinolates. Second, Canola, has a low erucic acid oil content (less than 2 percent) and only traces of gluscosinolates. Canola was registered in Canada in 1979 to differentiate the edible crop commonly known for its use as a heat-tolerant cooking oil from its non-edible counterpart. The name ‘Canola’ was made as an abbreviation for Canadian Oil Low Acid, also known as “double-low.” While these two types of rapeseed are used differently, their seeds appear identical. The only way to tell the seeds apart is by analyzing their oil content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanola Oilseed Meal (a byproduct of pressed seeds) is very nutritious! “Research has shown that adding canola meal to the ration of dairy cows can increase milk production.

Scatter or broadcast seed at the recommended rate and lightly rake in and tamp the soil down firmly on top. Water in at the time of planting and then regularly throughout its life if natural rainfall is insufficient. Clover tolerates drought conditions, but it slows its growth in extremely hot weather. It can also withstand temperatures into the negative 20s (Fahrenheit), making it very resilient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this clover mix is used as both a long-term perennial ground cover and a short-term cover crop for soil improvement, know before you grow. This crop may be terminated whenever you would like, following at least 30 days of growth. Allow at least 3 weeks before growing anything after termination. Time is needed to allow the plant matter to decompose. This mix will not winter-kill. To terminate organically, disrupt the root system. One of the most effective ways is by tilling. Mowing will not kill these clover crops. In fact, the White Dutch clover included in this mix is commonly mixed with grass seed because it is soft and similar in height to common lawn grass. If allowed to flower, you may see volunteers return to the garden after termination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may also be grown as an intercrop. An intercrop is a plant grown to produce benefits such as nitrogen fixation while growing another crop in the same space or beside it. This trio clover mix is popularly used as an intercrop with fruit tree orchards or as a ground cover for pathways next to garden rows because of its ability to add nitrogen to the soil, reduce erosion, and create favorable working conditions. With the soil stabilized by the clover ground cover, growers can enjoy a cooler environment and avoid muddy soil.

If intending to terminate via winter-killing, plant in the fall. Specifically, this mix helps reduce soil compaction, produces forage-friendly biomass, suppresses weeds, and improves water drainage. Plant up to 0.5 inches deep. It should be broadcast at a rate of 10 lbs per acre (1 lb per 4,356 square feet) or drilled at 8 lbs per acre (1 lb per 5,445 square feet). Clear the growing area of weeds before sowing for the best results. To broadcast, either throw by hand or use a spreader. To boost its biomass production, fertilize at planting. This cover crop should be grown for about 40-60 days before termination or expected fall frost of at least 28 F. The recommended termination methods can be found below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e* Cover crops are intended as an organic process to improve soil quality by being planted, terminated, and allowed to break down back into the soil before a crop or garden is grown the following season. If seeking an ornamental ground cover, we recommend using other flowering plants or lawn alternatives, as cover crops are grown with the intention of being killed and returned to the soil.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits of the Organic 3 Brassica Classic Trio Cover Crop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReduce Soil Compaction -\u003c\/strong\u003e The deep taproot habit of these brassicas helps to alleviate compaction common in clay soils. Reducing soil compaction before planting your spring crops can encourage healthier crop growth. We highly recommend this mix for those using no-till practices, as it can also winter-kill when sown in late summer to fall. We would also discourage deep tilling of clay soils before planting, as this can disrupt soil structures formed through the cover crop growing process that aid water drainage for your upcoming crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeed Suppression -\u003c\/strong\u003e To prevent weed growth between seasons, it is best to keep the soil covered. By planting the 3 Brassica Classic Trio cover crops in the late summer and fall seasons, you can suppress weeds and improve soil drainage in preparation for anticipated winter snow. As the spring months approach, thawing snow will have a better route to seep into the ground and make its way into groundwater storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Organic 3 Brassica Classic Trio Cover Crop Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cover crop mix is forage-friendly and may be grazed once there is enough plant material produced.
