Budget Soil Buildee

Quick delivery in the late fall as I was behind in planting awaiting more rain. Sowed in mid December Customer service rep was informative and helpful. The germination rate seems accurate. The seeds have germinated and I am
Monitoring monthly. I am looking
Forward to the end of the season to see how the plant mix matures. New field for nitrogen-fixing and working on converting to biodynamic pasture. Small steps.
Thank you!

Good seed for a great price

I like to buy this budget soil mix and throw in some other seed types for a custom winter cover crop.

Cover crops for over wintering

I have never planted a cover crop for wintering to till in the soil during the spring. My method was to let everything go dormant and dry up and then in the Spring rake it all together and burn it. I planted this product and it came up very fast with little effort. I was amazed at all of the mixture that is in the bag. Anxious to see how it does next Spring but so far I am very pleased with it!

Good seeds and good germination

The seeds came in good order. I did not have to play around with them and they have germinated well.

This product used with an inoculant has always done well for me in my garden in Ohio.
