MAGIC 8 WAY WINTER COVER CROP MIX

Winter Only Order

Our premium cool-season biodiversity blend — designed for grazing systems, soil biology, root diversity, winter biomass, and paddock recovery.

Perfect for paddocks, regenerative grazing systems, mixed livestock operations, lifestyle farms, and producers wanting to improve soil function, grazing resilience, and seasonal diversity through the cooler months.

All seed is high-germination, bare uncoated, and Australian grown where possible.

Not available for TAS & WA.

 What This Mix Delivers

✓ Winter biomass and seasonal feed support

✓ Strong root architecture and soil armour

✓ Increased biological activity and diversity

✓ Improved nitrogen and nutrient cycling

✓ Better soil structure and water infiltration

✓ Support for compaction and tired paddocks

✓ Broad multispecies grazing diversity

✓ More resilient paddocks and grazing systems

✓ Functional cool-season biodiversity

This is the blend for producers wanting diversity, root function, seasonal recovery, and stronger paddock performance through winter.

 What’s In the Blend (8 WAY)

Each species performs a specific role — this is a functional regenerative grazing blend designed around diversity and soil function.

Ryecorn

High carbon winter cereal supporting root mass, winter bulk, organic matter, and soil armour.

Oats

Fast establishing cereal producing winter biomass, grazing support, and quick seasonal ground cover.

Field Pea

Nitrogen-fixing legume supporting biology, feed quality, and rhizosphere activity.

Common Vetch

Nitrogen-fixing species helping stimulate microbial activity, diversity, and grazing quality.

Radish

Deep taproot species supporting compaction relief, root channels, water infiltration, and nutrient scavenging.

Plantain

Broadleaf herb supporting root diversity, mineral cycling, and grazing system diversity.

Lucerne

Deep-rooting perennial legume supporting resilience, biological activity, and root depth.

Sunflower

Flowering diversity species supporting pollinators, root diversity, biology, and paddock function.

Every PLANT has a role — together they help support healthier, more resilient paddocks and grazing systems.

Important Information

Seasonal conditions, rainfall, grazing pressure, sowing timing, and soil moisture will all influence establishment and performance.

For best results:

  • avoid grazing during establishment
  • maintain as much ground cover as possible
  • support biological activity through good grazing management
  • diversity systems perform best when roots remain actively growing
