Why Plant a Cover Crop Mix?

A mix can provide more functional diversity than a single species. Grasses may contribute fibrous roots and carbon-rich biomass, legumes can contribute nitrogen when compatible rhizobia are present, and broadleaf species can add different rooting patterns, flowering periods, or establishment characteristics. The result depends on the species in the blend, planting conditions, establishment, and termination timing.

Choose the Right Peaceful Valley Mix

  • Soil-building mixes emphasize biomass, root diversity, organic matter, or nutrient cycling.
  • Seasonal mixes are designed around fall, winter, spring, or warm-season establishment.
  • Orchard and vineyard mixes are intended for managed areas between or beneath perennial crops.
  • Pasture, forage, erosion, and beneficial-insect mixes address specialized uses beyond short-term garden cover cropping.

Compare the seed composition, planting window, seeding rate, irrigation needs, expected height, and termination method on each product page. A blend containing raw legume seed may require a compatible seed inoculant; Nitrocoated seed already includes an inoculant coating.
