{"product_id":"mustards-ultracross-cover-mix","title":"Mustards Ultracross Cover Mix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a colorful and textured mix up of many varieties that were left to go to seed during a mustard variety trial at The University of Florida's Field and Fork campus farm. There are purples and greens, frilly, smooth, and fuzzy ones....expect a delightful mix! Some are great for eating, some are mild, and some really spicy. A few have excessive hairs that make them unpleasant for eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMustards are a great option for a winter cover crop to help remedy an area that had root knot nematode infestations. We like to use mustards for this purpose in fall\/winter beds that we're not planting in. Chop them down before the spring beetles show up and start munching on them, and just before or during flowering. They produce a good amount of leafy greens to add organic matter to the soil. If you incorporate them into the soil, wait at least a few weeks to plant anything, to allow the biofumigant properties to dissipate so they won't impact your next crop. Chopping\/mowing them up finely is a good option, or placing a tarp overtop of cut down plants so they can rot in place. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Working Food Seed \u0026 Merch Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304249741501,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/1734\/5725\/files\/UCmustards2.jpg?v=1777210385","url":"https:\/\/workingfoodseeds.org\/products\/mustards-ultracross-cover-mix","provider":"Working Food ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
