Cool Season Green Manures
As a general guide sow autumn; in areas with cold winters in southern Australia, begin sowing in early March and again in early spring; most of northern NSW and Queensland should wait until late April - May before sowing; in frost-free areas these seeds can be sown right through winter, until early August. More specific sowing times are listed as part of the seed description. Standard postage is $12.95 (QLD) or $15.95 (all other states) for all orders which includes Bulk Seed Packs. The $7.50 postage fee for up to 100 standard packets of seed, only includes the smaller 10 mē packets not the 1000 mē or 4500 mē seed packs or kits. Due to high postage fees there is a higher cost for bulk seed in some Australian States. |
