Pasture Frost Seed Mix

    Description

    The Pasture Frost Seed mix is designed to add diversity to an existing pasture. Three types of clover provide the bulk of the mix helping your pasture fix nitrogen and providing livestock with protein. The collards and turnips help aerate the soil with their taproots as well as providing additional nutrition to livestock. Chicory and plantain are known for their antimicrobial and antiparasitic properties in livestock, helping keep your herd healthy.

    These seeds are non-GMO and not treated with pesticides.

    This product is pre-inoculated with Elevate'd Fungi and Bolster L, to increase the biological activity in your soil. 
    • Elevate'd Fungi is a seed applied inoculant derived from natural products designed to stimulate seed germination, increase root and biological biomass in the soil, and improve soil structure. This product is OMRI approved.* 
    • Bolster L Inoculant contains multiple families of nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria plus Azospirillum Brasiliense (free living N fixer) and two phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria, Pantoea Eucalypti and Pseudomonas Baetica. This product is NOP compliant.*
    *Note to Organic Customers: Please receive approval to use these inoculants prior to using this product on Certified Organic land.
