Two vitally important element for plant performance is light, and air.
Whether you are working with your garden lawn, golf course or even sports pitch, it is vital that you understand where the plants light will come from through a 24 hour period.
Now we have hit the silage season it is interesting to see how protein can be added into the seed mixtures and benefit the silage ration to reduce concentrate costs.
Silage cuts are vital towards winter feed with regards to yield as well as quality. By managing the sward efficiently, we can see the benefits in the silage tests done either at cutting or at feed out.
Here we can see what Mr Ogden thinks of our GSS Endurance, as he feeds and checks his grazing sheep. As you will see, this sward has been in for a good number of years now. This is also a great example of great winter/spring management, what I mean by this is when we keep all the grass plants level and even, they will all grow at the same rate. It is also a very healthy practice to clean all the autumns and winters leave and stem off, this will allow the new spring growth to have a clean and easier start. When the new leaves come through and are clean, every part of the leaf will be able to take energy from the spring sun.
When thinking about selecting a grass seed mixture for your park, garden, golf course or even field, it is important to think carefully about your key aims and objectives for the area.
