Combining the strong, fibrous root system of rye with the nitrogen-fixing benefits of vetch, this mix works hard below ground while providing excellent surface cover above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"498\" data-end=\"799\"\u003eRye helps break up compacted soils, suppress weeds, and protect the soil from erosion, while vetch fixes atmospheric nitrogen, naturally enriching the soil for future crops. Together, they create a balanced green manure ideal for vegetable gardens, allotments, orchards, and larger agricultural areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"801\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003eThis mix is particularly well suited for autumn sowing, offering reliable winter cover and organic matter that can be incorporated into the soil in spring. Easy to establish and manage, it’s an excellent choice for gardeners and growers looking to boost soil fertility naturally and sustainably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1098\" data-end=\"1115\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1098\" data-end=\"1115\"\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1162\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1118\" data-end=\"1162\"\u003eImproves soil structure and organic matter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1163\" data-end=\"1208\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1208\"\u003eFixes nitrogen for healthier future crops\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1259\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1259\"\u003eSuppresses weeds and protects soil over winter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1260\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003eSuitable for gardens, allotments, and farms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"112\" data-end=\"161\"\u003eHow to Use: Rye \u0026amp; Vetch Green Manure Seed Mix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"163\" data-end=\"341\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"163\" data-end=\"178\"\u003eWhen to Sow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"178\" data-end=\"181\"\u003eSow from late summer to autumn, ideally between August and October.
