RWWP Soil-Charge was developed after numerous requests from our customers for a soil-builder blend. Soil-Charge was designed to be planted as early in the spring as possible to get ahead of weed competition and to build up the soil. Soil-Charge is the perfect seed blend to plant ahead of fall-planted blends like Deadly Dozen, Dixie Dozen, Harvest Salad and Plot Topper. Planting rate should be at least 40lbs per 1/2 acre to suppress weeds through the spring and early summer.
Soil-Charge contains a blend of specific varieties of Barley, Red Clover, Rape Seed, and Peas.
Soil-Charge does 3 important things in your plots –
1. It serves as a weed-suppressor in your plot as you wait for the proper planting time for fall-planted seed blends.
2. It adds important nutrients to your plots such as nitrogen and organic matter.
3. It provides a food source for deer and other wildlife during the spring and summer months, getting them accustomed to feeding in your plots ahead of planting your fall seed blends
RWWP Soil-Charge Soil Builder Blend
To plant Soil-Charge, work the ground, broadcast the seed and then drag or cultipack the seed to achieve good soil contact. As an alternative, Soil-Charge can be frost-seeded by simply broadcasting the seed onto the ground 30 days prior to spring warm up as long as the seed can make good contact with bare soil. A couple of weeks before planting your fall seed blend into the plot, spray the Soil-Charge plot with glyphosate to kill all the vegetation. You can then either no-till drill the fall blend into the plot of work the soil and broadcast the fall blend.
