Deep Soil Improvement and Rich Yield of Organic Matter

The Vorstdood Green Manure Mix delivers visible results in the field: vigorous growth with a high yield of organic material, lasting deep into autumn. Thanks to the high share of Japanese oat, you benefit from rapid establishment, dense crop cover, and abundant humus supply. This not only improves soil structure but also the soil’s ability to retain water and absorb nutrients efficiently. The result is a fertile, airy soil ready for the next growing season with maximum yield.

Automatic Die-Off and Effortless Incorporation

The plants in this frost-sensitive green manure mix naturally die off at the first real frost, so no heavy mechanical work is needed to incorporate the mix. This saves time and costs, making this mix ideal for systems with minimal or no-till soil cultivation. Meanwhile, deep-rooting species such as phacelia, niger seed, and sunflower ensure intensive rooting of the soil, counteracting compaction and loosening deeper layers. The result: a vital, well-rooted soil with more biodiversity, a more active soil life, and stronger crops in the following season.

Sowing Instructions

1. Soil preparation: cultivate the soil to a depth of about 30 cm. Remove weeds and level the soil to a good seedbed.
2. Sow the edges: first sow the outer edges of the field broadly.
3. Sowing pattern: sow once lengthwise and once widthwise across the field.
4. Lightly rake: lightly rake the seeds into the soil to a depth of about 0.5 cm.
5. Firm the soil: walk or roll over the sown area to ensure perfect contact between soil and seed.
6. Watering: if no rain falls within 48 hours, water gently and keep soil moisture up in the following weeks for best results.
