Westerwold and Vetch Mix - Six Month Ley
Annual Species
Contains annual plants which usually die once they have flowered. Most annuals establish and set seed in the same year.
Nitrogen Fixing
This item contains leguminous species, which naturally fix Nitrogen from the air into the soil.
Fast Establishment
Quick to establish with rapid growth. Very competitive against weeds and fast to recover after cutting/grazing.
Winter Hardy
Once properly established plants in this mix usually tolerate a typical British winter.Ref: MIXWWV. A good balance between a vigorous grass and a fast growing short term legume, this mix can be used to provide a very large cut or early spring grazing. It is economical & effective as a winter cover crop too. In this case sowing should take place by late September and incorporated in April or May. For livestock farms it may be left and made into silage in late May. Mixture Contents...

Drought Tolerant Over-Seeding Mixture 4-5 Year
The requirement for drought tolerant mixtures in recent years has increased dramatically. Ryegrasses suffer to meet production needs on drier soils so we must look to deep rooting species to supplement this shortfall. By mixing hybrid ryegrass with cocksfoot and red clover this 4-5 year mix will be self sufficient due to the clover and produce far more in drier years than a ryegrass only mix.
