Make the most of your grazing.........
- Creates a non-ryegrass sward, thus reducing grass sugar levels to grazing animals
- By its nature and component makeup it will help grazing horses and ponies to reduce the incidence of laminitis
- An ideal choice as a rye replacement where laminitis has previously been an issue
- All grass species included in SG Meadow and Laminitics mixture cure quickly because of the lower soluble carbohydrate and sugar content within the forage it produces
- Especially suited to heavier, wetter or more difficult soil types, where ryegrass is not wanted as part of the mixture
- Produces a coarser grass sward. It is durable and also flexible to occasionally make good quality hay or haylage
- Extremely persistent and winter hardy, therefore ideal for longer duration usage
- Can be spread by hand
- Available in 10kg bags
- Delivery in 2 - 3 working days
The ideal sowing window is the period from March to mid-September ideally when the soil is moist or when rain is forecast and the weather is frost free. If possible keep the horses off for 2-3 weeks and once the grass is showing apply SUREGROW FERTILISER
Mixed herbs available.
*Herbs mix is Chicory/Burnet/Ribgrass/Sheeps Parsley
Re-seeding
Sow shallow (max depth of 1cm) and ensure a clean and weed free seed bed that is both fine and firm in structure. For best results, drill at least 10 to 12 kilos/acre, and ensure your pH levels, P & K are adequate, prior to sowing.
Application for small areas
Loosen soil on bare patches by raking with a grass rake or grass harrows. Scatter grass seed on at a rate of 12kgs per acre if using a spreader or at a rate of 3 grammes per square metre by hand. Cover seed by lightly raking or harrowing and then firm by rolling or walking on.
