This nitrogen fixer is a lanky and sprawling but versatile legume that is fairly tolerant of acid soils. Apply garden inoculant to seeds before planting. It can be mown in spring to supply good mulch and is shade tolerant. Use 7-18kg/acre. 500g covers about 9sq m (100sq ft). (open pollinated seeds)

Cover cropping is a part of every well managed sustainable garden or farm.  Cover crops are useful in weed suppression, are important in building soil structure and add nutritents and organic matter to soils.  Many of the cover crops we sell not only perform all those useful functions within your growing space but also serve to support beneficial insect populations and provide a secondary harvest of grain, if you choose to allow the crops to go to seed.
