{"product_id":"vernal-summer-alfalfa","title":"Vernal Summer Alfalfa","description":"\u003ci\u003eMedicago sativa\u003c\/i\u003e Released in 1953, Vernal remains a very winter-hardy variety even in the most northern climates. At maturity, alfalfa can produce a huge amount of green biomass capable of putting back up to 10 tons per acre into the soil at plowdown. Generates 150-250 pounds of nitrogen per acre and also serves as a great forage crop for animals. Thrives in well-drained soils with a pH above 6.0. In gardens, prepare as you would a lawn with a fine and firm seed bed. The seed prefers good soil contact; sow about 1\/4-1\/2 inch. Roll with a lawn roller. Can be spring or late summer sown. You must plant 6-8 weeks before the first killing frost in the late summer to allow good establishment going into winter. Great for sowing between crop rotations as a high nitrogen producing cover crop. Recommended seeding rate: 1\/2 pound per 1000 square feet; 15-20 pounds per acre. Pre-inoculated.","brand":"Territorial Seed","offers":[{"title":"SEED \/ 1 pound","offer_id":67668970766496,"sku":"bnb1791565746212","price":8.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SEED \/ 5 pounds","offer_id":67668970799264,"sku":"vup1791565746213","price":36.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1045\/5833\/0016\/files\/vernal-summer-alfalfa_1.jpg?v=1791565753","url":"https:\/\/boardroomwear.shop\/products\/vernal-summer-alfalfa","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
