Oats [green manure]
Description
We replaced oats sold between November 2024 and March 2025 due to a storage issue at our producer, which resulted in a decrease in the germination rate.
All affected customers have been contacted and their oats have been replaced.
If you purchased oats at a seed fair , please write to us and send us a photo of your package. We will be happy to replace the quantity ordered.
Thank you for your understanding!
Oats biological
Oats can be established in all soil types, in all conditions, from the beginning of May to the end of September. Grown as a green manure, the poaceae benefits from soil-cleansing properties. It is increasingly used as an autumn green manure. It perishes during the winter, leaving a thin, yellowed carpet of oats on the soil the following spring, easy to dig in. It helps reduce soil erosion and prevents the presence of weeds.

Growing tips for green manures
Green manures are crops intended to be worked into the soil to increase fertility. Growing green manures has many benefits. Among other things, it allows you to prepare new land. Grown cyclically, green manures rest, enrich, and cleanse the soil. Established in the fall, they protect the soil from erosion and leaching and preserve its structure.
