Our Cover Crop Seed Blends

Each of our cover crop blends is designed with a clear purpose in mind. Some are built to boost feed supply, others to enrich soil biology or attract beneficial insects; and many manage to do all three. 

The Summer Crop Mix kicks off strong through late spring and early summer, delivering high dry matter and multiple grazings. Below the surface, the Soil Builder Mix revitalises soil structure and fertility through a rich combination of cereals, legumes, herbs, and brassicas. For those chasing biodiversity gains, the Nectar Injector Mix adds colour, nectar, and natural nitrogen to the mix. As the seasons turn, the Winter Crop Mix keeps the feed coming and the soil active, while the Barley/Pea Mix offers a no-fuss balance of fast growth, quality forage, and nitrogen fixation. Every blend comes with practical sowing advice and tailored guidance to help you get the best result.

 

Choosing the Best Cover Crops Mix 

Choosing the best cover crops starts with knowing what you want from your system. Is it about rebuilding soil, holding moisture, controlling weeds, or keeping feed rolling through winter? Each goal points to a different mix, and the trick is matching species to purpose and timing.

Our team works with farmers across New Zealand to fine-tune rotations that make sense for local conditions. Maybe you’re after a winter cover crop that doubles as quality forage, or a soil-building blend that sets up your next pasture for success. Either way, we can help you weigh up options like single-species sowings versus mixed cover crop seeds, and find the sweet spot between productivity and soil health.
