This cool-season blend features a balanced mix of nitrogen-fixing legumes—such as field peas and vetch—alongside fast-growing oats that offer erosion control and organic matter production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for fall or early spring planting, the mix thrives in full sun and a variety of soil types, including compacted or depleted soils. The legumes enrich the soil through symbiotic nitrogen fixation, while the oats act as a nurse crop, creating a protective canopy that limits weed growth and stabilizes topsoil. The biomass produced can be incorporated as green manure to boost soil structure, aeration, and microbial activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're practicing crop rotation, preparing fallow ground, or restoring soil vitality between growing seasons, this legume-oat combination provides a natural and effective solution. Mow or terminate before flowering for maximum nutrient return. Recommended for regenerative gardens and organic farms focused on long-term soil health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more cover crop solutions that enhance your garden’s fertility and resilience, explore our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.com\/collections\/all-cover-crop-seeds\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003efull selection of cover crop seeds\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLegume Oat Mix #2 – Avena sativa \u0026amp; Vicia spp.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDid You Know?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLegume-based cover crops can reduce the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers by naturally adding nitrogen to your soil through microbial processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e100 lbs per acre or 2-3 lbs per 1000 sq ft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInoculant:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePea Vetch or Garden Combination Inoculant (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5-10 Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFixes nitrogen, erosion control, weed competition, green manure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFacts to Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePlant in fall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCayuse Oats, Biomaster Winter Peas; Purple Vetch, Lana Vetch, Common Vetch, Dunsdale Peas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peaceful Valley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49535735267556,"sku":"SCM351","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/0290\/0196\/files\/peaceful-valley-legume-oat-mix-2-raw-seed-lb.jpg?v=1785402039","url":"https:\/\/groworganics.shop\/products\/peaceful-valley-legume-oat-mix-2-raw-seed-lb-mt4e57","provider":"Westbridge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
