One of the questions we get a lot is "What mix do I plant in my clay soils?" But, what is clay soil? Let's define it...

Clay soils are just soils that have a higher percentage of clay particles than silt or sand. Clay particles are smaller than silt and sand and tend to pack together which causes water to pool after rain events or from melted snow and runoff. Compaction from pedestrians or machines can exaggerate this packing of clay particles making the soil almost impenetrable to water. Clay soils can range from marginally clay dominant soils to almost all clay soils. OPN Seed's Clay Soil Mix is good for most areas where clay soils are found. The native species are adapted to grow in these soils and should do so.

Some things to remember:

Please keep in mind that this mix will take 2 to 3 growing seasons to fully establish and may display stunted growth as it works to establish. There are always exceptions and where this mix will grow is no different.

If the soil is very compacted, you may need to break it up before seeding. Contact us if you have questions about this.

If your soils are so clay based and compacted that they hold water like a swimming pool for weeks and months at a time and you can play a pickup basketball game on the other parts, you may need to amend the soils before planting.

Contacting your county Soil and Water Conservation District to get a soil test conducted may be a good idea in certain circumstances.

In most cases where these areas pool water for a few days and then it drains into the soil, this is your mix! Contact us if you have questions. We're here to help!

Took a chance and ordered this cologne for my husband without smelling it first. We both liked it (It's all used up- gotta order more:-) A light fragrance that lasts all day.

Every cologne certainly lasts differently….. just be aware
Scent: Original Citrus + Eucalyptus
Smells very nice like Harry’s Shower jell but doesn’t last very long at all on me , hopefully others so definitely not worth the money as far as I’m concerned

Very pretty edition of a beloved classic
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This is a beautiful edition. Very well made and aesthetically pleasing. It's small enough and light and pliant enough for very comfortable reading. The text block is made with good quality paper that is thick enough and not glossy. The gilding is a nice touch. The only flaw was that the gilding on mine was scuffed and scratched off in some places. Overall, I'm super happy with it.
