Cultures de couverture

Une sélection de semences de cultures de couverture conçues pour améliorer la structure du sol, ajouter de la matière organique et soutenir la santé du jardin à long terme.

West Coast Seeds' cover crops are an essential component for sustainable agriculture and regenerative gardening. These crops are planted to cover the soil rather than for harvesting, playing a crucial role in improving soil health. Our range includes a variety of species like Alsike Clover, Barley, Buckwheat, Crimson Clover, Fall Rye, Fava Beans, and Hairy Vetch, available in both organic and conventional options. Planting cover crops helps prevent soil erosion, suppress weeds, increase organic matter, and improve water retention. Specific blends like the 'Fall Soil Builder Blend' are formulated to prepare the soil for winter. As these plants decompose, they return valuable nutrients to the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. This is an effective strategy for farmers and gardeners looking to build fertile, resilient soil naturally. Seeds are available in bulk for large agricultural areas.
Fall cover crops, such as Fall Rye or our 'Fall Soil Builder Blend', are typically sown in late summer or early fall to protect and enrich the soil over the winter.
Legumes like clover, fava beans, and vetch are excellent choices for fixing atmospheric nitrogen in the soil, making it available for subsequent crops.
Indoor Growing Quiz

Germinations et micropousses

Une gamme de semences biologiques pour la culture intérieure de germinations et de micropousses, incluant des variétés comme la luzerne, le brocoli, le radis et le tournesol.

West Coast Seeds makes it easy to grow fresh produce indoors year-round with its selection of sprouting and microgreen seeds. This category caters to those looking to add nutritious and flavorful food to their diet with minimal space. The range includes a wide variety of organic seeds, such as alfalfa, mung beans, broccoli, radish, kale, and sunflower. Blends like the 'Sandwich Booster Mix' and 'Bean Salad' are also offered. Growing microgreens and sprouts is a simple process that doesn't require a garden. The company provides not only the seeds but also the necessary equipment, such as sprouting jars and stainless steel screens. To help beginners, an 'Indoor Growing Quiz' and an 'Indoor Growing Guide' are available, offering tips and instructions for successful cultivation. It's an ideal solution for urban dwellers, families, and anyone wanting access to fresh, crisp greens right at their fingertips.
Sprouts are germinated seeds that are eaten whole (root, seed, and shoot), while microgreens are grown in a medium, and only the stem and leaves are harvested, allowing them to develop a bit longer.
While microgreens can grow on a sunny windowsill, a grow light can provide more consistent light and promote more even, robust growth, especially in winter. Our site mentions the availability of lighting equipment.
