LEGUME & HERB RICH MIXTURES

​

Legume and herb-rich mixtures provide an abundance of
productive grazing for livestock and a habitat and food source
for invertebrates and pollinators, supporting biodiversity.

Herbal leys develop a beneficial soil structure through the increase of organic matter. This is due to the variety of species
used and the length of time which they are left in the soil. These leys not only replace organic matter lost within a
rotation but also supply a valuable forage crop for livestock as either grazing or taken for a cut of silage.

Grasses offer the reliable, bulk forage of the ley.
