Herbal AD Mix 4 Year Ley
Quality and yield are important for AD. It's also important to ensure mix compostion is balanced to get the best output. Minerals like copper and selenium are valuable for Anaerobic Digestion and diverse mixtures which mine these minerals from the soil are a great way of obtaining them. The Herbal AD mix contains grasses, legumes and herb species which contribute to a robust and productive mix.
