Organic White Lupin Seed

Lupins - Fast Frowing N Fixer and High Protein Feed

• They suit light sandy acid soils but will tolerate most situations.
• Lupins fix 25% more free nitrogen than clovers and 28% more than peas and beans.
• Very long tap roots that dredge up minerals.
• The long roots also help to break up and aerate heavier soils.
• Will increase the moisture retention properties of the soil due to the large amount of bulk produced - both leaf and root.
• Part of the legume family.
• Can be used for fodder.
• Lupins produce beautiful white or blue flowers but it is best to dig it in and cut down before they flower.
• The flowers are great for insects so a few could be left to flower to draw more insects into the vegetable area.
