Warm Season Soil Builder

Description

Our Warm Season Soil Builder Mix includes over 14 different species designed for improving organic matter and controlling weeds. This diverse blend of legumes, grasses, brassicas, and broadleaves all work in synergy to build soil.

Legumes convert nitrogen in the atmosphere and make it available to other plants while prolific grassroots improve soil aggregation and water infiltration. Brassicas are excellent scavengers of nutrients unavailable to other plants. Broadleaves offer a deep taproot to break up compaction and attract beneficial insects with their flowers.

This combination leaves no room for weeds to grow, keeping your fields clear for your next crop. If you want to improve the quality of your soil, this mix if for you!

Use this mix to...

  • build soil organic matter
  • add diversity
  • improve nutrient cycling

Ideal for...

  • gardeners and homesteaders
  • farmers and ranchers

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

This product is pre-inoculated with Elevate'd Fungi and RhizoBac X-Tend to increase the biological activity in your soil. Both products are OMRI approved.

    Excellent mix, Great germination rate, biodiversity top notch!

    Excellent mix! Great germination rate, amazing biodiversity, and amazing company! I am excited about this mix. This is our first time purchasing from Green Cover and couldn't be happier with the performance of the Warm-Season Soil Builder mix! I cannot wait to see what soil tests show in the future. Knowing we started at the beginning with such a diverse mix is comforting! We've already ordered our cool-season soil builder mix and are ready for round two!
