-------------------------------------------------------------------------
INOCULANTS
Legume inoculants are strains of beneficial bacteria called rhizobia.
The rhizobia attach themselves to the seed, and promote greater
nodulation and fixation of nitrogen. This promotes better stand
establishment and stronger plants with a greater ability to withstand
adverse conditions. For legumes used in forage situations, higher
levels of available nitrogen translate into maximum protein production.

ESTABLISHING WILDFLOWERS
1. Rake the area to form grooves.
2. Broadcast seed with shaker or cyclone seeder. See seeding rates above.
3. Lightly rake over area to ensure proper soil/seed contact.
When to Plant: Early spring is the best time, but dormant seeding is also
an option. Late summer seeding should be at least 8-9 weeks prior to first
frost.
Companion Crop: A non-competing companion grass such as sheep fescue or
hard fescue will bulk up the mix for easier application, stabilize the soil
until wildflowers become established and decreases annual weed competition.
Use 4 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. with the wildflower mix.
Maintenance: Established wildflowers do not require a lot of maintenance.
If natural rainfall does not occur, watering will aid in germination and
establishment. Mow the area in the fall. This will make the area neater,
and spread the seeds of the annuals for germination in the following year.

FERTILIZER ANALYSIS & APPLICATION
The three numbers in the analysis tell the percentage of the three
essential plant foods: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
Additional numbers indicate the addition of secondary or minor plant
food elements: Magnesium (Mg), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe),
Manganese (Mn), Boron (B), and Sulfur (S).
Nitrogen will increase growth of leaves and stems, stimulates rapid
early growth, and greening up the plant. A deficiency in nitrogen
will cause yellow leaves and stunted growth.
Phosphorus promotes root formation and growth. Particularly helpful
to root crops such as potatoes, carrots, and beets. A deficiency in
phosphorus will cause lower leaves to turn red, purple or an unusual
deep green.
Potassium increases plant vigor and resistance to disease. It
stimulates production of strong, stiff stalks, promotes the
production of sugar, starch and oils, and increases plumpness of
fruits and vegetables. A deficiency will result in yellow leaves
at the tips and edges, weak stalks, and poor “setting” of fruit.

GMF NO-PHOS &
LO-PHOS FERTILIZERS
In their continuing campaign to control

effective January 1, 2008, the state of Maine
is requiring a sign to be prominently posted

sold. Additional information is available
at:
www.maine.gov/dep/blwq/doclake/fert/sign.pdf.
Phosphorus is an essential element for root development in new seedings.
However, most established lawns require little or no phosphorus. Old
habits are hard to break, but we do offer ALL OUR BLENDS without phosphorus
and with prominent “No-Phos” labels.

FALL COVER CROPS
This information has been provided by LAKEVIEW ORGANIC GRAIN.
Cover crops make so much sense – they cut fertilizer costs, improve soil health and condition, prevent
soil erosion, improve water holding and infiltration capacity, produce nitrogen, and much more. Many cover
crops are ALLELOPATHIC, which means they exude chemicals from their roots that suppress the growth of
other plants (weeds!) around them.
Cover crops are either LEGUMES (clover, hairy vetch, peas, alfalfa) which convert nitrogen in the air to
a form that plants can absorb or NON-LEGUMES (buckwheat, cereal/small grains, and crucifers like radish,
turnip and mustard) that contribute added organic matter and suppress weeds. Both groups are useful tools
in a crop rotation line-up. Often you don’t have to choose one type over the other type but you can use a
mixture of different types of cover crops. Peas & oats, rye & vetch, winter peas & triticale, oats & radish, are
particularly useful combinations.
When planning which cover crop to plant in the fall, it is also helpful to divide the available species into
(1) those that will WINTER-KILL, and not re-grow in the spring, and (2) those that will produce some growth in
the fall, go dormant during the winter, and then grow back in the spring. The following is more information
about both types of cover crops.
WINTER–KILLED COVER CROPS
RADISH – Studies have shown that corn & soybeans, planted after a fall radish cover crop, will have
significantly higher yields. Radish reduces soil compaction by punching holes through compacted layers,
improving water infiltration, suppressing weeds and nematodes, and controlling erosion in fall & winter
months. They scavenge and hold soil nutrients at the surface and increase soil organic matter by up to 5
tons/acre. After manure applications, they effectively hold the nutrients. Plant 30-60 days before the first
killing frost. CAUTION: They do not smell good as they rot in the spring.
OATS – Produces vigorous grassy growth through the fall. Oats natural ALLELOPATHY (see first paragraph)
suppresses weeds while producing lots of biomass. By spring the oats are gone. Oats can be grown alone or
in combination with peas, turnips, or radishes. Plant 40-60 days before the first killing frost. Fall oats,
especially mixed with turnips or peas, make great grazing.
BUCKWHEAT – A quick-growing cover crop that effectively suppresses weeds, frees up phosphorus, and
softens and loosens the soil. Buckwheat works even in poor soils with persistent weed problems. It is
commonly planted in the summer, although it can also be used as a fall cover.
FIELD PEAS – A legume whose vines break down rapidly, releasing accumulated nitrogen in a form that other
plants can easily use. Mix with oats in the fall as the small grain is needed for support.
YELLOW MUSTARD – Lakeview has been using yellow mustard as a short time spring cover crop prior to
planting red kidney beans with great success. Like radishes, mustard is a crucifer, producing glucosinolates
(or “hot” flavored chemicals) that suppress root rots and nematodes in the soil. This year they are trying to
use it as a fall cover crop.
[42]
OVER –WINTERING COVER CROPS
RYE – A hardy grain which can be seeded later and still produce a tremendous amount of biomass. Ryes
strong allelopathy suppresses weeds and also controls nematodes and insect pests. Rye is often mixed with
hairy vetch. WARNING: Rye can be vigorous in the spring and if not plowed under fairly early, you may need
to mow or chop it before plowing.
HAIRY VETCH – Vegetable farmers love vetch for its strong nitrogen fixation, soil structure improvement, and
weed suppression. Vetch planted in the fall with rye or wheat produces an early spring cover that can be
tilled or rolled before planting vegetable seed or transplants. WARNING: Vetch is considered a noxious weed
in winter small grains grown for milling. Flour made from wheat contaminated with vetch seed is bitter with
unattractive black specks. Getting rid of vetch can be very difficult, since the raw seed contains hard seed
which does not necessarily come up the first year it is planted.
TRITICALE – A cross between wheat and rye, triticale combines the vigor and wide adaptability of rye with the
growth habit of wheat. Triticale is highly versatile as a cover crop, forage, or grain crop. It mixes well with
peas or vetch. Both winter and spring versions of triticale are available which expands its usefulness.
AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS – Planted in September with barley or triticale, it grows moderately through the fall,
then in the spring it explodes with vigorous viney growth and purple flowers, adding lots of nitrogen to the
soil. The small grain is needed to support and protect the peas against winter kill. Lakeview has found that 2
bu barley/A is about the right amount to provide adequate support for the peas without being too
competitive. This also makes a highly nutritious and palatable spring pasture for grazing.
MEDIUM RED CLOVER – This is the standard, dependable, widely adapted legume cover crop that organic
farmers rely on for much of their nitrogen needs. Lakeview has frost-seeded red clover into their winter
small grains in February-March. It grows through the spring, and really takes off after grain harvest. By the
following year, the clover can be plowed, providing enough soil nitrogen to grow a healthy crop of corn or a
vegetable crop. Clover can also be sown with a spring small grain before grain emergence. Be aware that soil
diseases affecting beans, peas and soybeans are also hosted by clover, so close rotations of these crops may
technically be rotating crop species, but may not be sufficiently rotating root pathogens.

EARLY POTATOES*
CHIEFTAIN - Very good flavor, shallow eyes and good appearance make this
a popular commercial variety and an excellent all-purpose red. Resistant
to scab, stem end browning, and late blight. Does better in clay soils
than other reds. Has a high over-all yield.
IRISH COBBLER – A white potato that is a well-respected heirloom. It is
good for mashing and baking. The Irish Cobbler has deep eyes and an
oblong shape.
RED NORLAND – This is the earliest red potato, which has perfectly round
tubers with shallow eyes. It’s a good keeper with heavy yields.
YUKON GOLD – This light yellow oval potato has good flavor, good
storability, and drier texture than most yellows. Tubers are oval and
slightly flattened with small pink eyes. This is a very popular variety.
MID-SEASON POTATOES*
KENNEBEC – A white oblong potato that is widely adaptable to varying soil
conditions, and resistant to late blight. They produce high yields of
large delicious spuds for fresh eating and storage.
SUPERIOR - A white potato with good yields. A fairly good keeper.

GREEN MOUNTAIN - A white potato that has a good appearance and flavor
with a dry texture. Known as an excellent baker with long storage. It
thrives in a wide-range of soil types, and produces abundantly under many
different growing conditions.
KATAHDIN – A white round potato that is widely adapted to northern soils.
It’s excellent as an all-purpose storage variety, with a very good
appearance and medium to high yields. The tuber set is frequently near
the surface; hill well to avoid sunburned tubers.
RED PONTIAC – A favorite red potato with medium-deep eyes, good for
mashing and for winter storage. Large plants produce high yields of large
tubers, with some tolerance to drought.
RUSSET BURBANK - An "Idaho" type white potato that is excellent for
baking.
ONION SETS*
RED - Global in shape and covered with a reddish-purple skin. Use them
in salads or for garnishing. They are fairly hardy, but not good keepers.
WHITE (BOILING) – Thin, translucent, white skinned onion that can be
harvested before maturity, and are known as boilers or picklers. Fairly
strong in flavor. Use in soups and stews, or in a dry martini!
YELLOW (STUTTGARTER) – All-purpose onion with a mild pungent flavor.
The Stutgarter produces excellent green onions, and produces a round full
season onion.
