tagasaste seed wanted + advise

[janahn]

years ago i failed to germinate tagasaste seed, dont know why, but now ready to plant up to 1kg on prepared ground this autumn. happy to buy or swap some desmanthus legume seed. a short browse legume from mexico. it didnt get frosted last winter. grows well on swales in a low rainfall (less 24 inch pa) zone. very palatable for wallabies and livestock.

I am in queensland australia at janahn forest jimbour, demonstration farm of the permaculture design institute,
thanks leo mahon

please email janahnforest@bigpond if you have stock, with a phone contact so i may call you

do you simply need a good soak/rainfall for tagasaste to strick ?

Hi Leo,
here's a link to Eden seeds page where they sell what you want. They should be able to give you tips on inoculating the seed etc to encourage the nodules on the roots for nitrogen fixing.

Hope all goes well.
Cheers and regards,
