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.Medicinal Properties
Plants with high mineral content and anthelmintic (anti-worm) properties to reduce vet and med bills and improve animal health.Ref: CHICORY. Chicory is a very popular, deep rooting species. It is commonly used as an addition to grazing leys due to its high protein content and its ability to fatten lambs. It is also very deep rooting, suiting dry soils and is frequently used in combination with other species as a green manure.

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.Ref: RIBGRASS. Ribgrass is a very popular perennial forage herb which is commonly mixed with sheeps parsley, yarrow and burnet to increase diversity and lift trace elements from deep within the soil profile. It can be mixed with regular grassland crops to increase grazing quality, and with deep roots it is also popular in mixtures for lighter land. More details...
