This listing is for 1 pound of Avena sativa seeds, also known as common oats. This cool weather grass creates a 2-5ft tall cover within 60 days of planting, but easily winter kills after a few frosts. Oats are an excellent cover crop and forage to plant in Spring or Fall, creating plenty of biomass that is easily terminated and planted into for no-till practitioners. Utilize the resulting mulch to enrich barren or hungry soil before planting vegetables, or feed the hay to livestock. Sowing depth - 1"Seed rate - 40-60lbs per acre.Optimal temperature - 6 weeks before Frost for Fall, or after risk of frost for Spring. Seeds are packaged in biodegradable bags with biodegradable tape to prevent moisture-build up and minimize plastic waste.
