Hey I just bought some crop. I heard raking it in was a good idea. I did this, but it was soooo time consuming. I got out my tiller and set it to a very very shallow setting, and quickly moved it through. I have planted rye and clover, the seeds are pretty small. There’s only about a quarter inch of soil on the seeds, some being closer to the top than others. Is this a problem?

Hey Jennie-
Inoculant that is stored properly (should be stored in “pantry-like” conditions – dry, mild temperatures) should be viable for 12 months. Keep in mind that this is a living organism, and for this reason it is important to make sure you store it with this in mind.

Hope this helps!!

what is the shelf life of the inoculants?
