Green Manuring Crop Seeds

Green manuring crops grow and establish rapidly, creating large amounts of biomass in a short space of time. When a green manuring plant dies, or is desiccated, the biomass can then be incorporated into the soil, increasing the soil's organic matter content.

Here at Smart Seeds, we stock some of the best green manuring seeds. From mustard to radish and buckwheat seeds, our extensive range of green manuring crops consists of the following popular varieties:

• Mustard seeds - Mustard is renowned for its incredible frost and drought tolerance, making it an ideal cover crop particularly during the colder months. At Smart Seeds, we stock both brown and white mustard seeds which help improve soil structure by increasing organic matter. 

• Buckwheat seeds - If you’re looking to establish some short-term green manuring and game cover, then why not buy Buckwheat seeds. Our specially selected seeds would be ideal for you, since they are not only rapid growing, but also provide cover and feed for species such as pheasants, partridge and deer. 

• Phacelia seeds - This variety of green manuring seed is also extremely fast growing. If you would like to provide cover and feed for game birds, then Phacelia seeds are an ideal choice for doing so. 

These are just some of the green manuring cover crop seed varieties that we offer as part of our extensive range at Smart Seeds. From green manuring seed mixtures that thrive in colder seasons to those that provide a vital source of food and shelter for wildlife, we have a green manuring seed blend that could be perfect for you.
