I planted this late as a winter cover crop in some raised beds (z6a), and germination was quick.
Trying to put a garden in an area with that is gravel and can't penetrate with a shovel Cayuse White Oats are quickly building much needed organic matter. The seed has remained viable for several years.
Let customers speak for us
from 9167 reviewsI grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
