Description
A mixture of wildflower and grass species suited to Calcareous soils and designed as a standard mixture to create a habitat on these specialist sites where colonisation can be difficult. Suitable for being managed by grazing by Sheep in the long term however for the first few seasons managing by cutting might be required in order to develop the depth of sward to avoid excessive poaching. A great habitat for invertebrates, birds and mammals. If possible when cutting in late summer an area of up to one third should be left uncut until the following spring for overwintering invertebrates. This area should be alternated each year.
Where to use this mixture:
- Free draining soils
- Limestone areas
- Earthwork areas
- Road verges
- To encourage insects and birds
