Field Peas (Maxum) Cover Crop Seed
$5.35 – $98.50
Description
Grow alone or in mixes as a short-term green manure.
Pea tendrils (the most recent 6–8″ of growth) are also great in salad mixes, and the dry yellow peas can be cooked in soup. In spring or fall, sow alone at 3 lb./1,000 sq.ft. (120 lb./acre). Can also be mixed with vetch and/or oats, winter rye, or ryegrass. Peas smother weeds better than spring-sown clover. Inoculate with Garden Combination Inoculant (#7531) or Pea, Vetch, and Lentil Inoculant (#7534) for best performance.
•Edible Flowers: The flowers, with their mild and pea-like flavor, are a popular choice for brightening up salad mix. They can also be used in micro mix salads, as a garnish for desserts, or for candying to place on cakes. Avg. 2,600 seeds/lb.
