Early Bite Sheep & Hay Ley

Ideal for more early grass on light land, this ley will provide good growth throughout the year and is especially good for lamb production. It is also suitable for hay or silage and can be expected to last for at least three years. Contains white clovers, making grazing more palatable and increasing live weight gains.

Equine Pasture Mix - Long Term No Ryegrass

This is a more persistent, non-ryegrass mix providing good quality, diverse forage with a low sugar content. Although this mix will take a little longer to establish than a ryegrass based mix, it will provide a dense, resilient turf with balanced forage for grazing and hay.

Grass Companion Option for Sainfoin & Lucerne

We recommend the use of a non-competitive grass mixture to be sown with sainfoin and lucerne. The grass fills the base of the crop, increasing yield and soluble sugars to improve silage fermentation and ground cover if being grazed. The grass seed element should be surface sown and rolled in.

Herbal AD Mix for Heavy Soils 4 Year Ley

Where the standard Herbal AD mix above is great for light land, there are some species ion this mix which may not survive as well on heavier or wetter soils. This 'Heavy Soil' equivalent mixture is an alternative choice which only contains species which will grow on these heavier soil types with poorer drainage, but still provides all the benefits of a deep rooting and diverse mixture.

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.
