PeakBlend Ozark

The Ozark PeakBlend is a combination of cereal rye and winter peas. This mixture of grass and legume allows you to seed later in the fall than blends that have broadleaf crops, such as radish. This mixture excels at all of the cover crop objectives. The ability of winter peas overwintering depends on when they are seeded in the fall. They need to be 6-8 inches to reduce the risk of heaving. Too much growth in the fall can also cause the plants to winterkill. Snow cover and other crops aid in the overwintering process.
