{"product_id":"organic-soil-builder-mix-raw-lb","title":"Peaceful Valley Organic Premium Soil Builder Mix - Raw Seed (lb)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeaceful Valley Organic Premium Soil Builder Mix is designed for vegetable rotations where both nitrogen-rich legume growth and dependable cereal biomass are priorities. Rather than relying heavily on inexpensive grass seed, the formulation emphasizes winter-hardy organic peas and vetches, supported by organic oats and triticale. The result is a vigorous cool-season stand with several complementary root and canopy types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe legumes form nodules that support nitrogen fixation, while the cereals establish fibrous roots, capture residual nutrients, and stabilize the soil through wet weather. Oats and triticale also provide an upright scaffold for the vining peas and vetches, helping the canopy remain productive as spring growth accelerates. This balance produces strong weed competition, abundant green manure, and flowering habitat for beneficial insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeed in September or October in most regions. Spring planting may also work in coastal areas and other climates with cool summers. This is a raw-seed mix, so treat it with the appropriate inoculant immediately before planting. Plan termination according to the following crop: earlier mowing or incorporation creates softer residue and faster decomposition, while later termination produces more total biomass. The formulation may vary with seed availability, so review the current-lot ingredient statement when planning rotations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic cool-season annual legume and cereal mixture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Triticale, Organic Peas, Organic Hairy and\/or Purple Vetch, and Organic Oats; formulation may vary based on availability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–5 lb per 1,000 sq ft or 70–120 lb per acre, planted approximately ¾–1 inch deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInoculant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strongly recommended for effective nodulation and nitrogen fixation.
