Herbal Leys present a number of advantages over typical grass-clover leys. Vetch improves soil fertility, the large number of flowers provide for pollinators, and the variety leads to better carbon capture, helping the environment. A diverse forage reduces the need for supplements. Protein from legumes, energy from grasses, micronutrients from herbs form a highly nutritious mix.
Herbal Leys are good for the wallet too- natural fertilisers lower manufactured fertiliser cost, sainfoin acts as a natural pesticide, and varying root depths help protect against drought, a common source of pasture loss (and money loss!).
This Mix is sold by acre coverage, with 1 Acre being 13KG of seed.

Broadcast (scatter) seed or shallow drill no deeper than 1cm. Small seeds struggle to germinate when sown deeper than 1cm.
Roll after sowing to retain moisture, ensure good seed-to-soil contact and reduce slug damage. Do not roll if the surface has running rainwater.
Rest your herbal leys from cutting and grazing for at least 5 weeks in the summer.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
