Hi Guys, I am newbie here. I am from South East Asia region, I do farming along with livestock dairy cows. I have heard about herbal leys. I am not sure whether it will grow here, I have done soil sampling, have sent it to lab and waiting for the results. I would like to grow herbal leys, make the silage and store it to use in summer months. I would like to get some info on it about growing herbal leys in my country. I have tried getting some information from here but no one knows about this. I will import seeds from United Kingdom. I would be thankful if someone will put me in right direction. I am growing maize, wheat crop & some grasses from last few years.

Hi there, I doubt there will be many in South East Asia who have tried this. Ian Wilkinson from Cotswold Seeds has done a few webinars on this. There will be many other seed companies doing it too @greatingrass.


There will be more if you google BGS (British Grassland Society), AHDB etc

Daniel Scothorn is a useful contact as I believe he does a lot of consulting in the Middle East and South East Asia (mostly Vietnam I think). Maybe look him up.
