Pollen & Nectar Source
This product contains flowering species which are beneficial for pollinating insects like bees and butterflies.
Drought Tolerant
Contains deep rooted plants. Grows better in dry weather than shallow rooted species. Massively improves soil structure.
Low Fertiliser Input
Contains enough N fixing legumes to be self sufficient requiring no fertiliser input.
Medicinal Properties
Plants with high mineral content and anthelmintic (anti-worm) properties to reduce vet and med bills and improve animal health.
Nitrogen Fixing
This item contains leguminous species, which naturally fix Nitrogen from the air into the soil.
Slow Growing
Slower to establish but require much less maintenance and management.
Ref: SAINFOIN. Sainfoin is a silage or hay crop that can be grazed. It is drought-resistant, needs no nitrogen fertiliser, mitigates bloat and is a natural anthelmintic. In times of high fertiliser, feed and vet costs, it can be of huge benefit to farmers, and the environment. PLEASE CALL FOR AVAILABILITY More details...
