This blend of hairy vetch (\u003cem\u003eVicia villosa\u003c\/em\u003e) and common vetch (\u003cem\u003eVicia sativa\u003c\/em\u003e) is specially formulated to fix atmospheric nitrogen, enhance organic matter, and protect the soil from erosion. Cold-hardy and fast-growing, it establishes quickly in fall and resumes vigorous growth in spring, producing lush green foliage and beautiful purple blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdaptable to a wide range of soil types, this vetch mix thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. It performs especially well in orchards, raised beds, and vegetable rotations, making it a valuable component of regenerative gardening systems.
