[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 8185854, member: 81760"] I think a full herbal ley would pleasantly surprise you, but it would require slightly different looking after to prg, a dash of white clover and some plantain if youre feeling adventurous! The legumes will only fix nitrogen over the summer[B] BUT[/B] they will leave that nitrogen in the ground for in the spring So whilst they are not growing in the spring (and certainly not fixing nitrogen) The grasses can make use of the residual nitrogen from the previous summer It's why a herbal mix with grass is good, in my mixes, the plant with the highest percentage of seeds is perennial ryegrass (40%), followed by red clover (10%), birdsfoot trefoil (10%), then other species of grass like festulolium and timothy (20%) leaving 20% for other herbs and legumes.
