Such a vigorous annual cover crop that it is considered invasive in much of the United States, non-GMO hairy vetch is a European heirloom and one of the most popular restorative crops grown in the garden. Heirloom hairy vetch seeds are the most frost-hardy of commercially grown vetches, traditionally seeded in the autumn to overwinter and mulched back into the soil as a fertile springtime "green compost". Open-pollinated hairy vetch is a vining, trailing legume grown to soften and revitalize compact, deficient, uncultivated soils. Wholesale and bulk seeds available. ~1,250 seeds/oz.
