Good for the Earth
Lupins are just as incredible for our earth as they are for our bodies. Farmers enrich their soil naturally by planting a perennial that produces amazing flowers as colorful as the rainbow while attracting and feeding bees, hummingbirds and butterflies!
Lupins are a nitrogen fixing crop with deep taproots. What does that mean? That’s a fancy way of saying they are a natural fertilizer for your plants. Lupinis take nitrogen out of the air and add it to the soil with the help of symbiotic bacteria that live in nodules on their roots!
The taproot stretches deep into the earth, making it drought-tolerant and also helps break up compacted soil. As an added bonus; when all of those lupine plants die back, the taproot will slowly break down, increasing the organic content in your soil, which will help the soil retain water.
This significantly reduces the amount of water needed to help this plant grow. Allowing farmers to keep costs down and allowing us to save the planet's water! We call this a total win-win!
