One of the questions we get a lot is "What mix do I plant in my clay soils?" But, what is clay soil? Let's define it...

Clay soils are just soils that have a higher percentage of clay particles than silt or sand. Clay particles are smaller than silt and sand and tend to pack together which causes water to pool after rain events or from melted snow and runoff. Compaction from pedestrians or machines can exaggerate this packing of clay particles making the soil almost impenetrable to water. Clay soils can range from marginally clay dominant soils to almost all clay soils. OPN Seed's Clay Soil Mix is good for most areas where clay soils are found. The native species are adapted to grow in these soils and should do so.

Some things to remember:

Please keep in mind that this mix will take 2 to 3 growing seasons to fully establish and may display stunted growth as it works to establish. There are always exceptions and where this mix will grow is no different.

If the soil is very compacted, you may need to break it up before seeding. Contact us if you have questions about this.

If your soils are so clay based and compacted that they hold water like a swimming pool for weeks and months at a time and you can play a pickup basketball game on the other parts, you may need to amend the soils before planting.

Contacting your county Soil and Water Conservation District to get a soil test conducted may be a good idea in certain circumstances.

In most cases where these areas pool water for a few days and then it drains into the soil, this is your mix! Contact us if you have questions. We're here to help!

Great price!
Color: Silver
For the price I'm extremely happy with this juicer! Easy to clean! I will say it's a little difficult to make large batches with this juicer. I just keep a pitcher beside me and dump the container when it gets full. I do find myself cleaning the grater a few times while I'm juicing because it does tend to get clogged. If you're new at juicing and want to try it...get this! Totally worth it! Gets the job done. I've used mine several times so far, but still can't see myself paying $300+ for a juicer.

Not that great
Color: Silver
Not bad for the price but it leaves a lot of pulp behind and I don’t like that it could be better but again decent for the price easy to use you just have to strain the juice a lot to get all the pulp out and once you do it’s like 60% pulp 40% juice when you go in the back to look at or throw out the juiced fruit you can feel how much juice is still in it
