Ashton Estate Manager and farmer, Sid Jackson’s advice:

"It is best to sow Miriam Rothschild’s Meadow Mix between early September and March. It will grow anywhere, anytime, but particularly likes neutral to mildly alkaline soil. Do NOT use fertiliser. I recommend you cut it once a year after seed has set - mid July."

 The estimated quantity needed is about 4 kilos per acre for grass fields and about 8 kilos per acre for ploughed fields.

For orders of 10 kilos or more we offer a reduced rate per kilo.
