No-Till Cover Crop 13-Seed Mix (1 lb. Bag): [50% Clovers Plus Fenugreek, Vetch, Flax, Cowpeas, Buckwheat, Forage Peas, Millet, Lentils, Crimson Clover, Sweet Yellow, White Clover, Medium Red Clover]

Have bought 2 lbs so far, getting ready to buy another. Planted in September in a newly made raised bed, no till, used for legumes, grew until after Dec, when we got a few freezes, pulled it all up, and laid it down on the dirt, added a lot more dead vegetation, then covered with more garden soil, cow manure, worm castings, biochar, spread out on top of the compost, then another layer of freshly mowed clover, the tall crimson clover in this on top. Have garlic growing all around the edges, and will be planting pinto and kidney beans in about a week, beginning in April. Have also planted this around trees, in big cloth pots and in the ground, the clover will grow through the winter here, and it loves a few low spots in my yard where water stands for a couple of days after rain. Clover grows back fast after mowing. I'm waiting to see how it does in through our hot summers in zone 8b. Have also thrown a lot of this seed on the shady side of my house, want to see how long it lasts in the summer. I like having the big tall crimson clover growing in big pots or among the roots of my trees all through the winter, putting nitrogen in the soil for them. I'm also currently replacing my lawn with clover and meadow type plants, passively, by throwing seed out all over, and this is great for that too.

I dropped these seeds overwinter. Hand broadcast I'm seeing tons of growth coming up. By far the best seed mix I've used. Central Oklahoma.

I sowed these about 1.5 weeks ago, indoors, in a small test container with 4 drainage holes. I don't currently have a garden, but want to sow some in my local environment for critters, and keep some for myself to eat as sprouts -- I am assuming these are all human-edible, since we can forage for plants to eat in survival scenarios, and most of these seeds are familiar names. I didn't give a flavor rating because I haven't tried any yet. So far, I am pleased with these seeds, and my bag was intact when I received it. I am perplexed that there are so many 1 and 2 star reviews saying the seeds didn't germinate, since mine sprouted in about 3 days. I didn't sow them in any organized fashion, so it's hard to estimate an exact germination rate, but it seems to be between 80 and 90%. Possibly higher. I used Kellogg Organics Raised Bed potting mix, watered after "broadcasting" the seeds, and I only keep the soil moist [which does not require daily watering]. When sowing, I only covered the large seeds, by just pushing them into the soil about 1/8" and flicking a little soil on top. They are in a sunny East window in the morning until I get up around 10, and if/when it's above 45-ish degrees Fahrenheit, I set them outside for a while to get the full spectrum of sun rays. I'm on a border of Zones 4 and 5. There's approximately 2.5" of soil in the container, and the bottom already has many roots showing. I know this because today a neighbor's cat knocked over the inverted bucket I am using for a stand, probably trying to get a closer look, and spilled out the container. grrr lol UPDATE - APRIL 22 It has now been approximately 18 (?) days and I am posting 2 new pictures. Looking great! I'm going to broadcast some outdoors between the alley and street, and see what happens.

Update - after 4 months- This ground cover is amazing! It is sheltering the root system of some by rid willow trees I planted at about 6 or so uncles that are now multi branched and are over 8 feet tall. I have been mowing next to the planting area to keep an edge or border. I occasionally go in to pull the plants that have dried out or died in my hot environment and I leave the scraps. I have not been putting the scraps in the compost as I want to keep the benefits in the soil at the planting site. I have researched all of the seeds in this mix trying to find out which seed/plant has given me massive, and I mean MASSIVE vine growth!!!! This is a pleasant surprise because the purpose of the willow trees were for privacy. I went out recently to add bougainvillea plants and i may not need to since I was able to stake all of the 2-3 inch trunks of each and toss the vines over a 6 foot wall with at least 3-5 feet hanging over the other side. I think, based on the photos researched, that they might be buckwheat. I’m very happy because they grew so fast and I wasn’t expecting this. This ground cover is amazing. I purchased and sowed in April in hot Southern California. Germination was quick - about 2 weeks & then quickly filling in within another week or 2. I watered frequently so the seeds remained moist and didn’t dry out because the area gets south sun and is an open backyard so from sunrise to sunset, the entire area also gets all day east to west sun. Also, I transplanted willow hybrids into the ground and they need lots of water & this ground cover is purposes for shading the willow roots and crowding out weeds. I’m very impressed. I have a few bare spots for areas that need additional sowing and where the sun dried out the crop when I lapsed in watering. I’ll purchase again to sow in October when the sun is less intense but still like summer anywhere on the east coast and hoping to see what results I get over the winter when the roots can establish before next years California summer.

Absolutely great! I spread these seeds back in November (Texas) and they took about 2 months to start growing with minimal watering. I didn't know what to expect but I'm finding myself harvesting some beans and snow peas on occasion. I actually let two snow pea plants grow vertically and they've been generous to me. This mix requires occasional watering and low maintenance. I recommend it.

I planted these seeds about three weeks ago and to date there is not much to show other than some clover popping through. Maybe it takes a long time for the wild flowers themselves to develop so I am not saying there is anything wrong which is why I gave 3 stars all round. Guess I'll wait and see..... Update, very disappointed, little to no growth at all. Maybe it is the soil, the slope, not sure. But a complete waste of time and money for me....

Excellent germination rate. Just watch out for birds, the ones in my area like some of the sprouts, but seem to leave the clovers alone. Had to keep an eye out and scare the birds away until the sprouts got passed the first few days into seedling stage, then the birds don't seem to be eating them any more.

Here's a physical look at what you're getting. Will update review depending on how it grows in. It's smaller than expected but still a lot of seeds
