Companion, Catch and Cover Crops

Companion, Catch and Cover Crop Seeds

"Protect your soil and maximize your farm's potential with our range of companion, catch, and cover crops. Designed for UK rotations, our seed mixes help improve soil structure, fix nitrogen, and suppress weeds. Many of our mixtures are specifically formulated to meet SFI (Sustainable Farming Incentive) and Countryside Stewardship requirements, ensuring you get the most out of your land and your payments."

Optimizing Your Rotation with Cover & Catch Crops

Integrating cover crops is a cornerstone of regenerative agriculture. Whether you are looking for a quick-growing catch crop to prevent nutrient leaching after harvest or a multi-species over-winter cover crop to build organic matter, we have a solution.

Key Benefits of Our Mixes:

  • Companion Cropping (IPM3): Use trap crops like buckwheat or fenugreek with Oilseed Rape to reduce pest pressure and boost yields.

  • Nitrogen Fixation: Legume-heavy mixes that naturally improve soil fertility for the following cash crop.

  • Soil Structure: Deep-rooting species like Daikon Radish to break up compaction without mechanical intervention.

  • SFI Compliance: Our seeds help you meet standards for SAM2 (Multi-species winter cover) and SOH2/3 (Summer/Spring catch crops).
