Protein Crops
With the continuing shift in thinking with regards farm sustainability, and costs of bought in feeds, we have been designing and testing many GSS seed mixtures.
In this blog it is time to look at growing protein crops at home, home grown protein crops are now much easier to grow and will give you the yields per hectare required. They will also grow fro enough years without a lot of costly inputs, we now have good numbers of organic livestock farmers growing their own protein crops. So conventional and organic, it can be done.
Have fun with your outside space.....!!!
Wildflowers & Bees:
You can help!!
We now know that adding colour from wildflowers into your garden or outdoor space has many benefits.
Hearty Soils
When working with plants and soil, it is vital to understand soil type, structure and fertility.
The above elements will make all the difference to the feeds and care your lawn or wildflowers may need.
Like most things plants including grass perform and grow much better when grown in their natural or correct environment, therefore it is vital that you as a grower work on your own knowledge of plants and soils.
Always start with the soil!
Firstly, let’s determine the soils current state with a regular grass walk and some soil sampling! Tools you’ll need….
SPADE!
Dig up a 6-inch hole and look for yourself at the soil determining the yield, quality, and efficiency of your end product. So, what are we looking for in the soil profile which could determine our soil fertility?
