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!

Fantastic satin pillow cases for the price
Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 02 - Pure White, Number of Items: 2
Edit: I already put five stars in the first place, but I was unfair to these pillow cases in my initial review! I thought they were a little warmer than the natural silk, because I was sleeping on them with acrylic pyjamas on. I have come to realise the pillow cases are not warm. They are truly excellent in every way. I just get sweaty every time I wear acrylic pyjamas! I have already ordered two more sets of these (and have switched to micrfibre pyjamas)! Original review: First off, I want to address a popular misconception. Satin is a weave, not a fibre. So polyester satin is real satin, and it is very common. To all the people saying the makers lied about the fabric, they absolutely did not! I bought these and I bought some inexpensive silk ones at the same time. I have been loving the silk ones and only started using these lately. I'm happy with all of them. These are not silk, and I can feel the difference, but they are a nice, smooth polyester satin. The white colour is indeed a pure white. I machine washed mine and hung them to dry. They did not wrinkle, pick or pill, and they did not change in colour or size. They look fresh and pristine. I measured my pillows and got the right size. They are pretty and neat, they seem to be well sewn and well finished, with no hanging threads. They are very soft to sleep on and did not make my dry, curly hair frizz up. I slept on them without my protective bonnet, so I got the full experience! Honestly, with the smooth, tight weave of the fabric, they may be superior to the real silk in terms of babying my skin and hair. However, they are a little bit warmer. That is fine for now, since the weather is cool. I might just use these while it is cool out and switch to silk in summer, or I might continue to alternate, we will see. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and would buy them again.

Worth the price
Color: 35 - Lavender, Size: King
The best thing about these king-size sheets is the deep pockets—they stay securely in place and fit the mattress perfectly. They wash beautifully, resist wrinkles, and are incredibly soft and comfortable. A great combination of quality, comfort, and convenience.

Get the best sleep ever - soft, stay cool, don't wrinkle or pill after washing, and stay on.
Color: 25 - Burgundy, Size: Full
Prior to buying this set of sheets, I tried just the pillow cases. I had a more expensive set of Egyptian cotton sheets and pillow cases, but every night I had to flip the pillow because it was too warm even when the room was cool. I bought the pillow cases for both my husband and myself, and we both saw an immediate improvement in our Samsung watch sleep scores. The pillow cases were so soft and I no longer woke up during the night with my head being too warm. The sheets I had been using were supposed to be for thick mattresses, and fit at first. I have a 12 inch mattress, and after a few washings, these sheets wouldn't stay on one corner of the mattress. There was no way I could stretch it over all four corners. Since I was so happy with the pillow cases of this brand, I decided to buy the sheet set. As I normally do, I washed and dried the set before using them. The sheets are every bit as soft and comfortable as the pillow cases, and they were wrinkle free with absolutely no pilling after washing. Putting them on my 12 inch mattress was a breeze. They fit over all the corners and even tucked in on all sides. The sheets are every bit as soft and comfortable as the pillow cases I had bought previously. Since I put them on my bed when warm weather was coming, I put away some of the blankets and comforters I had on my bed for the winter. I found that these sheets, are not quite as warm as my previous heavier sheets. For me this is a good thing as I used to wake up in the night sweating with my PJ's stuck to me. When I pushed down the covers, I would be freezing because my PJ's were wet. Since my bedroom is usually cool, I put some of the blankets back on my bed, but now I don't wake up sweating. Now I can use my blankets without sweating and having to push them to the bottom of the bed during the night, and my sleep score, measured by my Samsung watch, is consistently 10 or more points higher than it was before using these sheets. If you tend to sleep warm, these sheets would be perfect for you. At this point, I very much prefer these sheets over the stiffer, heavier Egyptian cotton sheets that don't breath. I should also mention that I bought the burgundy color that is a true burgundy - not red. UPDATE 7/25/22: I have been using these sheets for almost 1 1/2 years, and they have been washed and dried multiple times. They still look and feel as good as the first time I used them. They have not pilled or shrunk, and still fit on my bed as well as they did when they were new. Although I bought the set for a double bed, the pillow cases are large enough to fit the queen sized pillows I have, and are long enough the enveloping flap on the ends of them is really not needed. I still love this set of sheets, and will likely buy another set. UPDATE 08/10/23: I have been using this set of sheets for about 2 1/2 years, I and I still love them. I have been using only this one set of sheets. I take them off my bed, machine wash and dry them, and put them back on. They have not shrunk, pilled, or faded, and look as good as the day I bought them. I like these so much better than cotton sheets I have had in the past, including Egyptian cotton. They are so soft, not stiff at all. I decided to buy another set in case they stop selling them and thought I would update my review while I was here. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update my review if my opinion changes.

Extra deep queen sheet set 6 piece
Color: 18 - Navy Blue, Size: Queen
These sheets fit my 17" mattress perfectly. They dop pop off even after several days of getting in and out of bed. On occasion they do need to be pulled down. They are a great value for the money, I will be buying more in different colors. I love that they are wrinkle free and so soft. They're great if you have other colors to switch the flat or fitted sheet to create a new look.
