Description

Rye and Vetch are a traditional combination for use as a cover crop or winter manure. The plants work extremely well together: they are able to fix large quantities of nitrogen from the air in root nodules; they are fast growing, are winter hardy and adapted to a wide range of soils. This mixture adjusts to residual soil nitrogen levels. If theres plenty of N, rye tends to do better; if there is insufficient N, the legume component grows better. Rye helps protect the less hardy vetch seedlings through winter.

This mix is useful for many crops including tomatoes and onions but is used particularly in crop rotation prior to planting leafy crops such as brassicas. This two-way mix guarantees biomass, builds soil and leaves readily available nitrogen for these hungry crops.
