Diggers Cover Crop Mix

Trifolium pratense, Linum usitatissimum, Fagopyrum esculentum, Eruca sativa

An exclusive Cover Crop Mix designed and trialed in our production garden. Suitable for sowing year round in mild climates, or spring to late summer in frost prone areas, use to overplant and cover the bare earth between traditional rows of vegie crops, among mixed beds and to improve your soil. This mix includes red clover (a legume which holds nitrogen in the soil), flax (to add organic content back into the soil without taking too much nitrogen from the soil and surrounding plants), buckwheat (a fast-growing grain which attracts pollinators to the garden) and arugula (to act as a bio-fumigant).

Diggers Cover Crop Mix

Cover crops are immensely beneficial for gardens and soils. They prevent erosion, suppress weeds, and enhance soil fertility by fixing nitrogen and increasing organic matter. They improve soil structure, moisture retention, and nutrient availability. Additionally, cover crops promote biodiversity, attract beneficial insects, and support pollinators, resulting in healthier, more resilient ecosystems.
How to grow

Sow mix where needed and cut down when required or before plants set seed. Use this top growth as a mulch or add to your compost. Includes frost tender species so grow as a spring or late summer cover crop mix.
