Cover Crop Seed Cool Season Soil Building Mix Growing a cover crop (aka Green Manure) is a wonderful way to build soil organic matter, protect the soil against erosion, fix nitrogen, provide habitat for beneficial insects & pollinators and so much more! We typically plant cool season cover crops after harvesting the last of the summer garden which is typically in October here in Oregon. Alternately, they can be planted as early in late winter or early spring as possible.   This mixture of cool season varieties is a proven mix that we use here on our farm and in gardens. The cereal grain sprout quickly and provide a vertical scaffold for the peas and vetch to climb. The peas sprout quickly and provides fast growth and coverage and abundant nitrogen fixation.  A cereal grain and legume mix can grow from 2 to 5 tons (!!!) of biomass per acre, that's 40-100 pounds for a 100 square foot area. 100% certified organic. Plant-available N is maximized when cereals are terminated before they enter the reproductive phase. Crimp or flail termination is most effective at cereal anthesis. Drill 1-1.5” or broadcast and roll. Use higher seed rate if broadcasting, battling undesirable weeds or planting steep slopes.

Seed Cleaning Screens Basic Set  We are excited to offer these sturdy hand cleaning screens to support your seed saving efforts. Our neighbor and master woodworker Mateo Geier makes these for us from from sustainably harvested lumber and durable stainless steel wire mesh. There are many specialized seed screens, however, we have found that with these simple 3 screens you can do the job of cleaning most vegetable seeds of chaff and dust. Each screen is 12" x 12" by 2" deep. If you are cleaning tiny seeds like flowers and herbs you will need the Advanced Seed Cleaning Screens which have less space between the wires.  Included here are 3 sizes: 2 wires per inch (1/2"), 4 wires per inch (1/4"), ) and 8 wires per inch (1/8").  These assist in cleaning most larger seeds. The wooden frames are glued and nailed and then rounded and sanded for easy handling. They come unfinished for those that may have a sensitivity to finishes or would like to meet organic certification requirements for seed processing. With these screens you can clean everything from large seeds such as peas, corn and beans to medium sized seeds like chard and cilantro to smaller seeds such as lettuce, brassicas. We include a basic info sheet on seed cleaning to help you in your process.  SEE OUR ADVANCED SEED SCREEN SET THAT HELPS YOU TO CLEAN SMALL FLOWER AND HERB SEEDS.
