Wow, this crimson clover sprouted so easily in my raised beds. I sowed the seed 1/11/19 and exactly one week later, my bed is entirely green with sprouts. I am located in San Jose, CA. I can't wait for it to get taller and flower.

I scattered the seed by hand and then sprinkled soil atop and lightly pressed down on the soil with a sheet of cardboard to encourage good seed to soil contact so the seeds wouldn't dry out. We did have a lot of rain this week and it was really cloudy so that also helped ensure the seeds stayed moist for sprouting.

I am using this in newly built raised garden beds in which I plan to grow vegetables. I am hoping they will help fix nitrogen, but I realize the likelihood is low given that I chose this product as opposed to innoculated seed (which I shied away from because I want to try to be successful without things I couldn't imagine procuring from nature relatively easily on my own). Even if it doesn't help fix nitrogen, at least I think it will crowd out weeds, build up soil structure and give me something I can compost to use as future garden fertilizer.
