Lupins 'Blue Sonet' is a hardy annual green manure that can be planted from March to July and is part of the legume family. They suit light sandy acid soils and soils up to pH8 and are a hardworking leguminous plant that has very long tap roots that dredge up minerals. Lupins fix 25% more free nitrogen than clovers and 28% more than peas and beans. The long roots also help to break up and aerate heavier soils and allow more moisture retention with the addition of humus from the break down of the roots on light sandy soils.

Lupin Blue Sonet produce a beautiful blue flower but it is best to dig it in and cut down before they flower to help prevent them seeding and then becoming a nuisance. The flowers are great for insects so a few could be left to flower to draw more insects into the vegetable area.

It is possible to sow Lupins as an intercrop, e.g. among long growing varieties of veg like cabbage and sprouts, where they will contribute nitrogen to the soil (once they are dug in) and help promote growth in the veg crop. Treat as a legume for crop rotation purposes so great before nitrogen hungry crops like brassicas. Lupins can be slower to germinate than other green manures.

Did You Know?
That Lupins (Lupinus angustifolius) is a high-protein crop... the beautiful flowers are followed by large pods full of nutritious seed like a flattened bean. The kernels of Lupin are rich in protein (40%), fibre (40%) and moderate in fat (8%) made up largely of unsaturated fatty acids.

They are popular in Italy, often salted and served with a cold glass of beer!

COOKING: With young tender lupin seeds (in the green pod stage) you can just shell them out and boil them for 15 minutes or until soft. If cooking with dried lupin seeds then you will need to soak them overnight, then boil in fresh water for 40 minutes or until tender.

People who are allergic to peanuts can also react to eating lupin seed, so don't feed lupins to anyone with a peanut allergy.

Plant your Lupin seeds in spring (April onwards) in a small pot and transplant them out once about 4 or 5 inches tall. Maybe plant two seeds per pot as germination is often a bit erratic.

Great value
Size: 18-26 Expedition, 15-26 F-150, 18-26 Navigator
The engine air filter fit perfect. The cabin air filter was a bit of a challenge fitting. seemed to be a bit larger but it went in and got the cap back on the box. For the price you cant beat it. Would buy again!

Great Filter Set for Allergy‑Sensitive Families and MPG‑Minded Drivers
Size: 21-25 TLX, 18-25 Odyssey
I bought this set because I prefer handling routine maintenance myself, especially cabin and engine air filters, rather than paying dealership prices for simple jobs. The package included one cabin air filter and one engine air filter, plus a full backup set for the next service interval. Both filters installed easily and fit the 2018 Honda Odyssey exactly as expected. No trimming, no forcing, and no alignment issues. The cabin filter seated cleanly in the glove‑box housing, and the engine filter dropped into the airbox without any airflow restriction or sealing gaps. This setup is ideal for Odyssey owners who want to maintain optimal cabin air quality—especially helpful for families with allergies—and for drivers looking to keep engine airflow unrestricted for the best possible MPG and throttle response. It may not be necessary for anyone who relies exclusively on dealership service or doesn’t perform their own maintenance. Overall, this is a straightforward, high‑value filter set that installs cleanly and supports both air quality and engine efficiency for DIY‑minded Odyssey owners.

Excellent Air filter - Easy installation.
Style: BE-743 1-Pack
Excellent AC and Heater Cabinet odor defense air filter. I noticed immediately the smell coming out of the vents was fresher and the musty smell that was coming from the vents was crisper and cleaner. Very easy installation that you can do yourself and don’t need to pay a shop to do. The price is one of the best online and coms in quickly. It’s very sturdy, filter quality is excellent and it definitely improves the air quality and flow in your car. Fits perfectly like any OEM filter, this is a great buy for the price of an installation that will take you Les then 10 minutes to do yourself.

Great filter and easy installation
Style: BE-159 1-Pack, Style: BE-159 1-Pack
For my 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited. I cannot believe I paid so much more for a brand-name filter that does the same thing as this one. It is made of the same material as the dealer one I took out. Very easy to install, cant believe I paid for this to be done in the past with oil changes. Requires no tools and did not get dirty at all. No mechanical skills needed, especially if you run into trouble and can use YouTube. PROS - great quality, cannot tell that it is after-market - very professionally made, not irregularities seen - excellent fit in position, no adjustment needed - very easy to install, cannot believe I paid to have this done in the past - no mechanical skills needed to install - great price compared to what big name productions want for the same thing - cannot tell the difference in air quality between this and the dealer filter I took out - removes outside odor completely - did not require tools are getting dirty CONS - None
