Spring Oats OG seeds from The Soil Makers offer a versatile, season-spanning option to improve soil health in home gardens and small plots. Plant in spring before you grow late-sum mer or fall vegetables, or sow in August as a fall cover crop that will decompose over winter to prep the soil for spring cultivation. Spring Oats can be grown on their own or paired with legumes for a broader soil-fertility approach. Why choose Spring Oats OG as part of your seed strategy?
