Pollinator-Friendly Cover Crop Mix, (Organic) — A No-Till Blend That Feeds Your Soil and Supports Beneficial Pollinators

This custom no-till organic cover crop blend is formulated to enrich your soil while attracting beneficial pollinators to your garden or beds. A balanced 25/25/25/25 blend of crimson clover, hairy vetch, field peas, and oats — each species pulling its weight. Peas and vetch produce extra-floral nectaries accessible to pollinators of all sizes, including native species. Crimson clover is a favorite of bees and produces delicious, high-yield honey for beekeepers. The oats provide structure and height for the vining vetch and peas, making this an easy all-in-one solution that maximizes nitrogen fixation, suppresses weeds, and revitalizes deficient or uncultivated soils. 100% organic, non-GMO, and made in the USA.

Why Sow Pollinator-Friendly Cover Crop Mix?

  • Attracts beneficial pollinators — peas and vetch extra-floral nectaries feed native bees and insects of all sizes
  • Crimson clover for beekeepers — particularly attractive to bees, produces delicious high-yield honey
  • Maximizes nitrogen fixation — three legumes work together to replenish depleted soil nutrients
  • Oats provide structure — support vining vetch and peas for an easy all-in-one stand
  • Suppresses weeds and prevents erosion — dense cover protects bare soil
  • Revitalizes deficient or uncultivated soils — ideal for new beds and fallow ground
  • 100% organic, non-GMO, made in the USA
