Back to the Roots Organic Hairy Vetch Cover Crop Seeds, covers ~250 sq. ft.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking to prep your garden soil for the next season, the Back to the Roots Organic Cover Crop (Heavy Vetch) is a solid choice for ease of use. I recently picked this up to help fix nitrogen in my soil, and while I'm still waiting for the green to pop up, the initial experience has been great. ​First Impressions & Application ​1. Generous Product Amount ​The first thing I noticed was the weight of the bag. Sometimes with "organic" or "specialty" seeds, you feel like you're paying for a lot of air. That isn't the case here. I was genuinely impressed with the amount of product provided; there was more than enough to heavily seed my beds with some left over for spot-treating later. ​2. Simplicity is Key ​The instructions are straightforward, making it perfect for both experienced gardeners and beginners. The planting process was incredibly simple: ​I cleared the surface of my spent summer crops. ​Scattered the vetch seeds across the soil. ​Lightly raked them in and gave them a good watering. ​It took me less than 15 minutes to treat my entire raised bed area. ​Current Status: The Waiting Game ​As of right now, I have no growth yet, but that is to be expected as the seeds settle in. Cover crops like vetch are a marathon, not a sprint. I'm looking forward to seeing that lush green carpet take over to protect my soil from erosion and weeds over the colder months.
