I honestly do not remember. I bought more than one type of seed and I don't remember which ones were packaged how. I do remember however, that some of them were confiscated by the FDA, because they came from over seas and I never received them.

Hello. I planted them in potting soil from the home depot, About a half inch deep. But It should be noted that i didn't receive the correct seeds from the seller, and I have no idea what the plant i have is.

Hi I put them in water overnight and then planted them. Only one seed sprouted anf it is growing as we speak, at this point it is still only a plant though but I hope to plant it in the ground soon

I think so. The seeds are blue so I am thinking that they are treated with something like miracle grow to help encourage sprouting. Once they come out they do make for beautiful ground cover.

The top and bottom are both metal. There is a plastic piece on the underside of the bottom that is removable for cleaning. I only use mixed seed in mine. I have had mine for about 3 years now and there are still in good shape.

I'm pretty sure it is just crushed, dried leaves. It smells a bit like alfalfa (very strong smell) and nothing like chemicals, so I am fairly certain it's pure :)

Not sure my last message went out. I have been very pleased with this seed and it does grow with very little soil. I simply rake the ground, plant the seed and have been very pleased with this product. Jim in Arkansas

In my experience they are the most "unwashed" and freshest I have been able to find so far. There's not really a full proof method to check but usually the darker the water you wash them in, the better the seeds are.

I just planted some in my garden only a few days ago. so far nothing.. I did plant some in the house in those little green house plastic containers that come with the little dirt pods. they are already growing. took less than a week and they are already an inch tall.. the seeds I planted outside I water twice a day because it gets hot and dry quickly. I mixed garden soil and compost and steer manure into the garden. each seed is different as far as sun. So far I am happy with them.

The seed is coated and I have had good results with this product. It plants as much as the seed not coated as more survive and thrive.

We had a long, involved discussion with the manufacturer/grower. The grower that Bella BirdCo uses explained that silica are the "hairs or fibers" that can be on the outside of the canary seed. When they asked their farmers, they were told that this particular seed is the best quality, cleanest seed (meaning it is fresh and triple vacuumed to clean all dust off of it). Silica is abrasive; this particular seed is so smooth that the seeds flow out like water if one was to puncture the bag, like an hourglass. Seeds are are not triple cleaned or are of lower quality would not flow like this. So, they said since no one can really claim silica free, they can claim they have the cleanest, freshest, and highest quality canary seed (alpiste) which is also packed in a nitrogen-flushed bag. This oxygen-free environment keeps the seeds fresher and drier than hand-packed bags.

I have mixed seed in both of mine. I don't have a problem with crows so not sure. Only cardinals have been attracted so far

Hey Burrel, I just purchased the seed myself and have not been able to see how it is going to respond yet. Good luck!

To the best of my knowledge, it is the real deal, but I would question if any such product, natural ground material, is completely pure, merely close. For example, natural salt is not completely pure, yet praised for its mineral impurities as well. I have no reason to believe this product is any different. Since I'm using mine for chickens outside, it is not an issue. Best of luck with the product.

The coffee I received was ground. I use it in a regular drop coffee machine. You can buy this whole bean as well.

I have no idea if they are "real"; most important, they are not fertile. I used premium planting soil and Miracle Grow, and not one seed sprouted.
