Brassicas and Broadleaves

Broadleaf cover crops earn their keep in more ways than grasses do. Buckwheat flowers within a few weeks of sowing and feeds bees and parasitic wasps while it shades out weeds. Oilseed radish drives a thick taproot into hardpan, then winter-kills and leaves open channels for spring roots. Mustards such as Pacific Gold release natural compounds as they break down, which is why growers use them ahead of crops prone to soilborne trouble. Purple Top turnips double as fall forage for deer, sheep, and cattle. We also carry Royal Hybrid 1121, a sunflower grown for seed, birdseed, and biomass.
