Renee's Garden - Cover Crop Seeds Soil Building Kodiak Mustard Bonus Seed Packet

Kodiak mustard is a soil building “green manure” cover crop. Sown after your spring, summer and early fall crops are finished, it will protect and restore your garden soil for future plantings. This especially high biomass mustard germinates and grows quickly, producing an abundant leafy canopy that suppresses weeds and captures and stores soil nutrients, preventing them from leaching out in wind and rain. When returned to the soil, plants release nutrients, improve drainage and aeration, and add abundant organic matter that feeds beneficial soil microbes and increases earthworm populations. Kodiak mustard has a natural bio-fumigation effect on the soil, helping to control soil borne diseases and suppress nematode activity.
