Pre-Bean Mix

    Description

    You're probably familiar with using rye as a cover crop before beans, but why not add a little extra diversity for a whole lot of benefit. Rapeseed and flax both come from different plant families, (brassicaceae and linaceae respectively) bringing with them a whole host of new microbial diversity to the soil. This is especially helpful on corn and bean rotations where grasses and legumes dominate the landscape. 

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

    This product is pre-inoculated with Elevate'd Fungi and AEA's SeedFlare, 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.* 
    • AEA's SeedFlare is a nutritional seed treatment designed to provide trace minerals directly into the seed to stimulate rapid germination and emergence. 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.

        Ingredients

        Cereal Rye, Rapeseed, Flax, SeedFlare, and Elevate'd Fungi Inoculant

        Planting Instructions

        Drill seed at 3/4" to 1" depth or broadcast and lightly incorporate when soil temperatures are 45 degrees or higher.

        Timing

        For best results, plant 4-6 weeks before the first average frost date during the fall. Planting can continue even through the first few frosts but the mix will likely not grow much in the fall and spring growth will be only from the most winter hardy species in the mix, likely rye and rapeseed.

        Seeding Rate

        Plant 65 pounds per acre when seeding with a no-till drill or other planting implement and 90 pounds per acre when broadcasting.
