This flax seed was grown in Dungeness and harvested, threshed, and winnowed by hand. Whole flax seed is highly nutritious. Grind them in a coffee grinder or small mason jar with your standard screw on blender base. Sprinkle on your breakfast grain or cereal. It has a pleasant, nutty flavor with a hint of hazelnut. Flax seeds are chemically stable while whole. Ground flax seed can go rancid at room temperature, so grind just what you need at the moment, and store any extra in the refrigerator and consume with in a week.

Cover cropping for home-garden success. Helpful tips for growing your own food. Cover cropping is a method used by sustainable and organic growers to increase the biological activity and health of soil. A critical tool for soil fertility management in any size garden or farm, cover crops CAN BE fabulous nitrogen fixers and are an integral part of the natural cycling of nutrients. Healthy soil means bountiful gardens, so if you’re thinking about growing your own food or flowers this year, consider cover cropping first. A little work & pre-planning can go a long way towards increasing the quality of the food you bring to your family’s table. Barley, oats, rye, vetch (peas), buckwheat or phacilia are all used for cover cropping. Nash’s Organic Produce grows a rye/vetch mix that germinates well in low temperatures and yields fantastic results. -Gardeners should use about 10lbs of seed to cover crop 500-700sf. -Plant it ½-1 inch deep and water as needed. If soil is not too wet, the seeds will germinate in cold soil so cover crop seed can be planted in the cool spring. -When it is mid calf height, turn the cover crop in with a spade or shovel, inverting the top six-eight inches of soil. -2-4weeks after turning it in, the cover crop should mostly be broken down and ready for planting your garden, or for a second round. Allow more time in the early spring for the rye/vetch to break down. The ease with which it breaks down is directly related to its height, so don’t let it get too big before you turn it under! Cover crops maintain the biological activity and integrity of the soil can be used in the fall, spring, or summer. It is highly recommended to cover crop in the fall, as the grains hold nutrients that are otherwise leached away in the winter, while protecting the soil surface from erosion. If used in the spring and summer when leaching nutrients are not as big a concern, cover crops are ideal for fixing atmospheric nitrogen and building the soil’s organic matter. If your soil is particularly poor, start cover cropping in the spring and apply two or three rounds, ending with a final round planted in the fall, mid September, early October. Whenever you utilize cover crop, you can be assured that it will always benefit your soil, regardless of the shape its in. You’ve got nothing to lose--cover cropping will always improve your garden’s health! So, do your garden a favor: give cover cropping a chance to enhance the biological diversity and natural cycling of nutrients in your soil!
