Fall Cover Crop Mix — A Ready-to-Sow Green Manure Blend That Renews Your Soil All Winter Long

This dynamic fall cover crop blend combines winter wheat, field peas, annual rye grass, red clover, and hairy vetch into a single ready-to-sow green manure mix. Sow it after your summer harvest and let it work all season — fixing nitrogen, suppressing weeds, aerating compacted soil, and protecting bare ground from winter erosion. Come spring, turn it under as a living mulch to enrich your beds with organic matter before planting. Perfect for raised beds, box gardens, and garden plots of all sizes.

Why Sow Fall Cover Crop Mix?

  • Fixes nitrogen naturally — field peas, red clover, and hairy vetch feed your soil for free.
  • Suppresses winter weeds — dense living mulch crowds out unwanted growth
  • Prevents erosion — root systems hold soil through freeze-thaw cycles
  • Aerates compacted soil — deep roots break up hard-pan and improve drainage
  • Adds organic matter — turn under in spring for a natural fertility boost
  • Non-GMO, open-pollinated blend — five proven cover crop species in one packet

What's in the Mix

  • Winter wheat
  • Field peas
  • Annual rye-grass
  • Red clover
  • Hairy vetch

Sowing Notes

Sow 4–6 weeks before your first expected frost. Broadcast seeds evenly over prepared soil and rake lightly to cover. Water in well. No thinning required. Allow to grow through fall and winter. Terminate by mowing or turning under 2–3 weeks before spring planting to allow decomposition.
