Peaceful Valley Sierra Foothill Dryland Mix - A Sustainable Solution for Thriving Landscapes
The Peaceful Valley Sierra Foothill Dryland Mix is a specialized blend of seeds designed to thrive in the unique conditions found at altitudes of 3,000 feet and above. This carefully curated mix offers an array of benefits, including improved soil health, erosion control, and increased forage production. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the specifics of this product, its benefits at higher altitudes, and the key components, such as Denmark Subclover, Grosse Subclover, and Campeda Subclover, that make it such a valuable addition to any agricultural or landscaping project.
Benefits at 3,000 Feet Altitude
Altitude significantly impacts the growth and success of plant species. At elevations of 3,000 feet or lower, environmental conditions are characterized by warmer temperatures, reduced atmospheric pressure, and greater sunlight intensity. The Peaceful Valley Sierra Foothill Dryland Mix is specially formulated to excel in these challenging circumstances. Here are some key benefits of using this product at higher altitudes:
Drought Tolerance: The Sierra Foothill Dryland Mix is well-suited to regions with less predictable rainfall patterns common at higher altitudes. Its drought-tolerant varieties are adapted to thrive with limited water resources, making it a sustainable choice for arid climates.
Cool-Season Vigor: Altitude often corresponds with cooler temperatures, which can favor cool-season plants. This mix includes species that thrive in such conditions, ensuring that your planting will flourish even during colder months.
Erosion Control: At foothill altitudes, the risk of soil erosion due to wind and water is increased. This mix's deep-rooted components help bind soil together, preventing erosion and preserving the integrity of the landscape.
Key Seed Components
The Peaceful Valley Sierra Foothill Dryland Mix boasts a selection of carefully chosen seeds, each contributing specific advantages to the blend. Three standout species in this mix are Denmark Subclover, Grosse Subclover, and Campeda Subclover.
Denmark Subclover (Trifolium subterraneum var. brachycalycinum): Denmark Subclover is a leguminous plant known for its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil. This means it enhances soil fertility by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can readily use. It is a valuable component in the mix, as it enriches the soil with essential nutrients and reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers.
Grosse Subclover (Trifolium squarrosum): Grosse Subclover is prized for its persistence and adaptability to a variety of soil types. It provides excellent forage for livestock and wildlife, making it a valuable addition for pasture improvement and habitat restoration projects.
Campeda Subclover (Trifolium subterraneum var. yanninicum): Campeda Subclover is renowned for its drought resistance and capacity to thrive in dryland conditions. It forms a dense ground cover, suppressing weeds and further reducing soil erosion. Its resilience makes it a dependable choice for challenging environments.
Planting and Maintenance
To achieve the best results with the Peaceful Valley Sierra Foothill Dryland Mix, follow these planting and maintenance guidelines:
Site Preparation: Prepare the planting area by removing weeds and debris. Ensure good seed-to-soil contact by raking or tilling the soil lightly.
Seed Rate: Use the recommended seeding rate per acre for your specific project. Follow the provided guidelines to achieve the desired density of plants.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to establish the seedlings. Subsequently, monitor soil moisture to prevent excessive drying out.
Maintenance: Regularly monitor your planting for signs of weed competition or pest issues. Implement weed control measures if necessary.
The Peaceful Valley Sierra Foothill Dryland Mix is a versatile and resilient blend of seeds tailored for foothill conditions. With benefits such as drought tolerance, erosion control, and nitrogen fixation, and key components like Denmark Subclover, Grosse Subclover, and Campeda Subclover, this mix is an excellent choice for sustainable agriculture, pasture improvement, and habitat restoration projects at 3,000 feet and below. By following proper planting and maintenance practices, you can harness the full potential of this unique seed blend for your landscaping or agricultural needs.

Let customers speak for us
I grow this in old litter boxes for a bunny & Guinea pig rescue- it is a great treat! Grows fast, thick and moist. I also grow it in my catio for my cats
High quality saffron corms that shipped when they said they would. They started sprouting in my cabinet within a week so definitely plant them quickly after receiving.
They looked good when the plants arrived. Waiting for planters to transplant so they'll have more room, but not planting in the garden to avoid the mint from spreading all over. They're still alive....
Beautiful seed garlic
This tree takes a lot of patience, both in years to fully fruit out and in terms of how late in the season the peaches finally ripen, - the end of September here in zone 5b, - but boy are they amazing when they come in! I have two other peach trees, - Redhaven and Reliance, which have wonderful fruit, but these Indian Free White peaches are amazing. The aroma alone is incredible. These also have thicker skins, more "fuzz," which you can rub off, and are a bit on the acidic side, but OH so yummy! I have gotten raves from the farmers who tried them.
Been using this for last couple growing season. Works wonders for the garden.
This hose gets dragged over bark and around raised garden beds, and also over concrete and a weedy hillside to water a couple trees. So far it has performed well and there aren't any leaks or kinks!
I have not had a chance to plant these yet as it’s still a little early. Package came quickly and garlic was beautiful, can’t wait to plant it.
This is a great addition to my veg garden area!
These branch supports work well, are sturdy, and relatively cheap. While you do have to provide your own poles, you can buy wooden or metal ones of your needed length at hardware or home improvement stores. We ordered ten at first and then bought ten more after seeing how the first ones worked.
Of course I wanted a hand made wooden trug, but they are expensive! This plastic one is easy to clean, and the perfect size. I love the drainage holes.
No lightweight nonsense here! These are the one of the industry standards in tree pots and they have become our go to on the tree farm. You will find lightweight look-a-likes out there, but most only serve one time use. These have held up for years and been used multiple times in some cases.
This has become one of my new favorites for all around propagation. From seeds to cuttings we use this mix for our fig trees and have had unbelievable success. The mix is formulated for strong and fast root development. No complaints about it!
These trays are great. Everything is ready to go.
I use them for cuttings and seed starting and haven't been disappointed yet.
I had the frustration of having my dog dig up my citrus trees and figs out of their containers. I was furious. This granular repellent has stopped the dog completely. So now, the dog can stay.
