Organic Crimson Clover
A reliable fall-sown annual in the Willamette Valley. Gorgeous red flowers are magnets for bees, and often minute pirate bugs, which control small pests including thrips. Flowering time is related to sowing time and soil moisture. Known to provide 70-150lb of plant-available N in pure stands in the spring. A good forage for livestock, and will regrow if grazed no more than 3” before bud stage. Inoculation should be considered if clovers haven’t been grown before.
Rate: 20-30 lb/ac broadcast, 15-18lb/ac drilled Price: $3.60/lb
Organic Common Vetch
A traditional “green manure” common vetch has the potential to provide 50-120lbs of N per ac, depending on growth. Planted with a grain it can climb to maximize biomass per acre. A good choice for orchard understory due to its tolerance of shade and ability to emerge through leaf litter. Unique extra-floral nectaries support a multitude of small-bodied insects. A cool-season plant, tolerant to lows of 10deg F. Not appropriate for winters E of the Cascades.
Rate: 40-60lb/ac Price: $2.25/lb, >1000lb $2.00/lb

Used to create macropores in compacted soils. Edible root. Best used in combination with other species to maximize soil building benefits.

Organic Buckwheat
Known for its amazing ability to quickly establish and out-compete summer weeds (including Canada thistle!), attract pollinators, and accumulate phosphorus, buckwheat is a champion summer cover crop. May help to cool vineyard soil temperatures compared to bare soil. Sow in the spring once you are well out of frost danger but still have soil moisture. Buckwheat readily reseeds itself.
Rate: 50-60 lb/ac Price: $2.05/lb
Organic Fava ‘Diana’
A fantastic choice as a stand-alone or added to our above mixes, fava beans can greatly increase the N-fixing capacity of your cover crop by fixing N and providing a trellis for climbing species. Cold-hardy to 10 deg F. Edible beans and shoot tips. Locally produced in the PNW. Plant 1-1.2” deep. ‘Diana’ is a smaller-seeded variety, a bit larger than a pea but much smaller than ‘broad beans’.
