Soil Builder
Winter Wheat cover crop seeds produce hardy annual plants. Unlike oats, this cold-hardy cereal will not die off over winter. The germinated seeds lie dormant in frosty soil, and then burst into growth in the spring, providing a greater nitrogen to carbon ratio when it is tilled under. You will want a machine to help till Winter Wheat under, but it does not form the bomb-proof roots like fall rye. Left to mature, it will produce hard wheat kernels by early July. Hardy to Zone 3: -40°C (-40°F). 500g covers approximately 40m2 (438 ft²).
(Open-pollinated seeds)
Sow 6-8 weeks before the first average frost date. Winter wheat is hardy to Zone 3: -40°C (-40°F). Unlike oats, this cold-hardy cereal will not die off over winter.
The germinated seeds lie dormant in frosty soil, and then burst into growth in the spring, providing a greater nitrogen to carbon ratio when it is tilled under. Left to mature, it will produce hard wheat kernels by early summer. Till at any time, using a fork to properly integrate the organic matter into the soil.
