AE AK GU HI PR
If your soil isn't producing the way it used to, it's time to introduce it to a cover crop! Cover crops fortify your soil with the minerals it's lost over time, and introduces plenty of organic material and beneficial microorganisms back into the soil. Cover crops also help to reduce erosion and can even prevent weeds! This particular cover crop, Radish, reduces soil compaction and emerges in just 3 days, beating out any weeds that may grow. Winter kills the plant and it degrades into the soil to fortify it. Sow 1.5 lb. per 500 sq ft for best results, and see the full product label for complete instructions on how to turn over for the fall.
