Why Your Garden Needs It
-
Rapid green manure – Fast growth produces lush foliage that can be chopped and dropped as a closed‑loop topdress, recycling nutrients directly in situ.
-
Nitrogen fixation – Legume nodules harvest atmospheric nitrogen, raising soil N levels when the crop is mulched back.
-
Microbial inoculation – Extensive root systems invite mycorrhizae and beneficial bacteria, pre‑inoculating the next production run.
-
Soil armour – Living roots prevent erosion, reduce surface evaporation and keep soil temperatures stable.
-
Biodiversity boost – Multiple species support a wider range of soil fauna, amplifying nutrient cycling and disease suppression.
How to Use
-
Take a small handful and broadcast it evenly over the surface of a 19 L container or comparable area in a raised bed.
-
Lightly press seeds into the top centimetre of soil and mist thoroughly.
-
Maintain moisture until establishment, then irrigate as normal.
-
When plants reach 15–20 cm, cut them at soil level, leave residues as mulch, or lightly incorporate for immediate green manure.
Apply cover crop only to containers or beds that already host established main crops. Avoid germinating the mix alongside seedling transplants to minimise competition.
Pack Size and Seasonal Variation
Each pouch contains 200 g of seed, sufficient for several large containers or up to five square metres of garden bed. Component ratios may shift slightly with seasonal availability, but the functional balance of legumes to grains remains constant.
Our Commitment
OGS sources seed from Australian and international farms that practise regenerative agriculture, ensuring clean inputs free from systemic pesticides. Every batch undergoes purity and germ testing so you can sow with confidence and watch your soil come alive.
