Sowing & Growing
For growing a new field from soil, sow instead at a rate of 50g per m2
For overseeding an existing area, sow at a rate of 15g per m2
Sow March to October to avoid the colder winter months.
Split each square metre’s worth of seed in half and scatter seed in one direction across a square and then spread the rest in the opposite direction.
After sowing, lightly rake over the area and water.
Seedlings are susceptible to drought, so keep them watered during dry spells. Test your soil regularly by pushing your fingers into it.
Once the seeds are established you can graze poultry on the area. While the area is being used for forage mowing is not necessary.
