Thinking of entering low input grassland in CSS , what is the best way to add some clover to my permanent pasture for the sheep and what is the best time of year to do it. Cheers
Handful of seed in lick buckets every morning,sheep do the rest even fertilise it as well . Works well in spring!Thinking of entering low input grassland in CSS , what is the best way to add some clover to my permanent pasture for the sheep and what is the best time of year to do it. Cheers
this I’ve seen with good results but even better with cattle as the crap is wetter for longer than sheep sh!t.neighbour added alfalfa seeds to his lagoon and mixed the pumped out via a drag line. Very good results.Handful of seed in lick buckets every morning,sheep do the rest even fertilise it as well . Works well in spring!

yes.Depends on the stewardship option, but I'd be very wary of committing to getting a % of sward as herbs and legumes, and then managing to maintain those populations.
no need for an expensive to buy and run drill just hide the seed in little baked balls of slag and broadcast with a Cambridge roll or 2 to finishSpring but nothing will grow in a grass carpet , you need to open it out somehow . Hard grazing , Harrow or Direct drill
How much seed, and for how long....? Thinking about this here..Handful of seed in lick buckets every morning,sheep do the rest even fertilise it as well . Works well in spring!
