Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa) is a winter-hardy (to 10° F) and drought-tolerant cover crop that works well on sandy or clay soils. This plant is a legume that fixes large amounts of nitrogen from the air and provides excellent spring weed suppression and erosion control. Works well in tandem with winter rye or winter oat. Seed packet contains 8 G (about 420 seeds).
