Summer-Sown Cover Crops

Medicago spp. + Trifolium spp. This mix is one of the best choices for dryland cover cropping. Low growing (6-16 inches) and early maturing, Medic is a true annual that will complete its life cycle by August when planted in early spring. Can be planted as late as October for a winter and early spring cover in zones 6 and above. Makes an excellent mulch for orchards, vineyards, or between drip-irrigated vegetables. Medic is an outstanding smother crop, helping to control annual grassy weeds as well as broadleaf weeds such as pigweed and lambsquarter. Recommended seeding rate: 1 pound per 1000 square feet; 15 pounds per acre. Pre-inoculated.
