Clover and Turnip Seed Mix for Moist Low Spots, Blended for Planting in Full Sun to Moderate Shade
Clover and turnip seed mix gives you a planting choice for moist low spots where other plantings may struggle. Turnips and three clover varieties selected for moisture tolerance help put wet ground to use, in full sun to moderate shade.
Plant in moist soil rather than standing water. Prepare the ground by discing, tilling or plowing, or use a no-till approach by exposing and lightly working the soil with a landscape or hand rake. Sow at 1/4 inch deep or less, and pack the soil before and after planting for best results.
