Tin Shed Cover Crop Pollinator Mix is a dual purpose blend designed to build soil while providing high value forage for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. This diverse mix establishes quickly, protects bare ground, and produces an extended bloom window that keeps pollinators working from early season through late fall.
Deep rooted species improve soil structure and water infiltration, while flowering varieties attract and sustain native pollinators that support gardens, orchards, and surrounding habitat. It’s a simple way to protect your ground and give back to the ecosystem at the same time.
