Mix of Heirloom Wheats
This population was created many years ago by a passionate farmer-baker, from around thirty varieties. An ideal blend for rediscovering cereal biodiversity.
Between Barbu du Tarn, Rouge de Bordeaux, Touselle de Nîmes, Saissette de Provence, etc., the varieties have evolved together over many years to offer today, following natural hybridization, this homogenized blend.
In order to obtain a better genetic mix, we recommend sowing the whole bag at once.
IMPORTANT: to prevent the risk of wheat decay, we recommend treating seeds before sowing with a 4% solution of acetic acid (8% concentrated white vinegar, diluted 50% in water). Apply 1.7 l per 100 kg of seed, or 2 ml per 120 g sachet. Dry seeds quickly after application. Caution: underdosing will be ineffective, and overdosing may limit germination.
in the ground, online, on the fly
Sow in fall, broadcast or in rows 15 cm apart, every 2 to 3 cm, covering the seeds by about 2 cm. The sowing density generally used is 15 to 20 g/m2.
It is also possible to let the wheat grow taller, with a 30 cm space between each plant. IMPORTANT: to prevent any risk of wheat decay, we recommend treating the seeds a few days before sowing in a 5% acetic solution (white vinegar diluted 50% in water). Half a teaspoon per sachet is sufficient (1.5 liters per 100 kg). Underdosing would be ineffective, and overdosing could limit germination.
