How To Grow

Approx. one month before your first killing frost, plant this blend after you have harvested your garden.

STEP 1: Loosen soil, hand-scatter/row seeds, lightly cover seeds with soil. Continue to water and keep soil moist until germination.

STEP 2: Let cover crop grow (crop will go dormant when temperatures reach below 0°C).

STEP 3: Cut spring re-growth down to the ground or cover with a tarp. Let the trimmings/plants decompose, incorporate into the soil or leave as armor.

STEP 4: Sow your vegetable seeds or seedlings and enjoy healthier garden produce.

STEP 5: Repeat every fall.
