Seed %

   Mixtures By Seed Percentage.

Where an ecologist is designing a landscape specification, details of seed percentages can be provided and indeed are often specified in contracts received. 

However it is our experience that seed quality, weight, size and germination vary from year to year, that specifications by percent of seed supplied gives no real indication of what will germinate in the first, second and subsequent years, (seed triggers apart), nor does percentage take into account the final spacing or composition of an ecology which is forever changing, nor does percentage allow for, (once a crop is sow), subsequent seed set of the first to germinate and be self sown in the field. 

We leave such percentage determinations up to the ecologist, in the main our customers leave such details to us.
