I like the look, but at $600 per 25lb bag (enough for 1/3 acre) I’ll have to look at other options. I know my local feed and seed sells clover, which is part of the fleur mix, and it wouldn’t be that expensive. My yard really could use another seeding of white clover, which was the only one that did well with our clay soil.
Okay now you have me hitting my wholesale accounts to price out their components. These are wholsale prices.
Perennial ryegrass $1.25/lb
Hard Fescue $1.30/lb
Quattro Sheep Fescue $1.60/lb
English daisy $180/lb
White Yarrow Est $150/lb(short supply this year so I get the “call for quote” aka we are screwing you over.
White Clover $2.45/lb
Sweet allysum $59/lb
Baby Blue Eyes $33/lb
Strawberry clover (out of stock usually around $5/lb).
Now if you ditched the grasses and just bought the flowers you would need around 1.5lbs for 1/3 of an acre. Pricing it out would depend upon the blend percentages but would guess it to be somewhere around $100/lb so $150 for 1.5lbs. Plus blending cost of around $80 (time + equipment). The total COGs would be around $230.
The total blend original blend would be around $300. They are pulling around a 50% margin on that blend.
I really need to increase my margins. I just sold 20lbs of a pollinator blend to an orchard at only a 20% margin. Sigh…
