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!

Smaller than expected.
Size: 8 cube
The directions were complicated with only image directions. One person can put this together. It took me about an hour. The item is smaller than I expected. The image is misleading. Definitely not waist high for an adult. More like thigh height. Guess I should have paid more attention to the measurements instead of the image. It looks nice when assembled. For the price I expected something taller.

Great for the price — OffiGo 8 Cube Organizer Bookcase, Modern Farmhouse
Size: 8 cube
I bought this for myself after reading about it online, and it's been pretty solid so far. It works as advertised for daily use and fits into our routine well. The build/quality feels good for the price, though I noticed a minor issue that you should be aware of.

Nice entry way table
Size: 8 cube, Size: 8 cube
Great-looking 8 cube organizer with a really nice finish. The color is beautiful, and the top has a slightly matte stain that gives it a clean, modern look without being too shiny. Assembly does take two people at certain points, as you’ll need someone to hold pieces in place while aligning and securing them. Not difficult overall, just easier with an extra set of hands. It’s a bit shorter than a typical entry table, but the width is great and it offers plenty of storage space. Perfect for organizing baskets, shoes, or everyday items while still looking stylish.

Anyone with multiple monitors should buy this
I have been wanting something like this for years. I use three monitors, and keeping them all aligned is impossible. I've considered using tape, but that seems like it would lead to a sticky mess and it would never hold well. I imagined some solution with magnets, but never came up with anything that I thought I could implement myself. As soon as I saw this product, I was ordered two sets. I knew that this was either going to be a revolution, or a huge disappointment. It was not a disappointment. Installation is simple as can be, clean off your monitor back with some alcohol wipes (they should consider including some, would be a nice touch). For my screens, alignment was super easy because they have really square corners so I just stuck my aligners right at the corners and it worked great. For a screen with a curved back or something more geometric you probably want to get the screens in place first, then stick both parts at the same time. Either way, they stuck really well and the pads are flexible so they would work on a curved back just as well as flat. The brackets also have a locking part that allows you to slide them side to side a bit giving you more flexibility in mounting, and then you can lock them down once everything is lined up so they hold nice and firm. I also managed to screw up and put the wrong part on the wrong side, but luckily if you unlock the bracket you can slide the main part off of the adhesive part completely, so I was able to simply swap the two main parts without needing to peel the adhesive part off. It's a well thought out design and I was impressed by just how much flexibility there was in the mounting solution while still allowing for a very easy installation and rigid final setup. The magnets are strong, strong enough that if I needed to move a monitor regularly it would actually be annoying because while you can definitely take these apart they hold way too well to be doing so all the time. These are clearly intended for a permanent installation, without making it overly difficult to take things apart if you have to. If you have to turn a screen often though, such as to show something to a client or make the screen visible from another area of the room, I'm not sure if these will be what you need as they don't just come apart easily. If you want your screens to stay where you put them though, they are awesome! For me, these were perfect, and based on the design I think they should work well for most monitors and most setups. I'm so glad this product exists, it was well worth the money.
