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!

Snackageddon: 40 Bags of Crunchy Chaos (and I Regret Nothing)
Flavor Name: Fun Times Mix, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
As a self-proclaimed snack tactician and veteran of many a vending machine war, I approached the Frito-Lay Fun Times Mix Variety Pack with the skepticism of a man who’s been burned by stale pretzels and betrayed by underfilled chip bags. But this? This was a crunchy revelation. I bought this 40-pack for what I told myself was “emergency rations” during a long week of remote work. In reality, it became a full-blown snack safari. Each bag is a portal to a different salty universe—whether you're in the mood for the tangy rebellion of Doritos or the humble, dependable crunch of Lay’s Classic, this box delivers like a snack-themed Netflix binge. Pros: Variety that slaps: You get a solid mix—Doritos Nacho Cheese, Cheetos, Lay’s, Fritos, and more. No filler flavors that make you question your life choices. Portion control-ish: Each bag is just enough to satisfy a craving without triggering existential guilt. Perfect for bribery: Kids, coworkers, spouses—everyone has a favorite, and you now hold the power. Freshness: Every bag was crisp, sealed tight, and tasted like it came straight from the snack gods’ pantry. Value for money: At roughly 50 cents a bag, it beats the pants off gas station prices. Cons: Disappears mysteriously: I swear I only had three bags and now the box is empty. Either I blacked out in a snack frenzy or my family staged a coordinated chip heist. Uneven distribution: You might get 8 bags of Fritos and only 2 of the Cool Ranch Doritos. It’s a snack democracy, but some flavors are clearly more equal than others. Final Verdict: If you’re looking for a snack pack that brings joy, nostalgia, and a mild sense of shame when you realize you’ve eaten six bags in one sitting, this is it. Whether you're stocking a breakroom, prepping for a road trip, or just trying to survive another Monday, the Frito-Lay Fun Times Mix is your crunchy co-pilot. Would I buy it again? Already did. Twice. And I’m not even sorry.

Perfect for a Big Family – Kids Loved It!
Flavor Name: Fun Times Mix, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
We got this Frito-Lay Fun Times Mix Variety Pack for our 7 kids, and they absolutely loved it! The box is huge and has a great variety of chips, so there’s something for everyone. Perfect for snacks, lunchboxes, or family gatherings. The quality is just what you expect from Frito-Lay, and with 7 kids, it lasted a good while (not very long, honestly 😄). We would definitely buy this again—a fun and convenient way to keep all the kids happy!

These were a great option for the office break room! At the time I got them, they were a great value and the selection is high quality name brand snacks with good taste. It’s nice to have all the different options in one box instead of having to buy multiple products.
