PAm Annual Bee Clover Mix
If erosion control and increased nitrogen are desired, the PAm Clover Mix will do the job. This mix will begin blooming in February/March. Recent research suggests that a successful stand of this legume mix may fix about 80 lbs. of nitrogen per acre. The delicate, brittle nature of clovers makes it a good choice to encourage reseeding. Annual reseeding clovers will not become a weed issue. Click here for PAm Clover Mix details and planting instructions |
NitroBuilder (formerly called Vetch-Grain Mix)
Vetch, another legume, blooms later than all the other Seeds for Bees options. Its fine root hairs are excellent at stabilizing the soil surface and preventing erosion. Recent research suggests that a successful stand may fix more than 100 lbs. of nitrogen per acre. The “vine like” growing habit of this species allows it to work well when blended with small grains like triticale. Vetch should not be broadcasted in young orchards as it may grow up the tree trunks or irrigation systems. It is not recommended to allow this species to reseed inside an orchard. This mix now includes 10% Daikon Radish! Click here for NitroBuilder details and planting instructions |
