Nature’s best kept secret is that livestock produce the very best brand of grassland fertiliser, bar none! Managing livestock grazing in a way that mimics nature is the key to success.

Get your grazing off to the right start this year. Attend this FREE webinar to hear what other farmers are doing to grow lush, dense, biodiverse, sward without the expense of ploughing and reseeding, overseeding, direct drilling or inorganic fertilisers.

Come and learn how farmers are building robust plant root structure that is resilient to poaching in Winter, absorbs excessive rainfall, and is drought tolerant.

We will hear from Viviane Theby about her family’s experience. Last year they transitioned from continuous grazing to rotational grazing. This year they are switching to holistic planned grazing. Find out why, and hear lessons already learned.

A strange poll (perhaps unsurprisingly:rolleyes:). Am I allowed to DD something other than a ‘herbal’ ley, or ‘reseed’ without the use of a plough?:scratchhead:

I will be reseeding a couple of fields with a conventional PRG/white clover ley, using DD. I’m uncertain which pigeon hole I fit in.

Of course you can, just don't tick any of the boxes - or call it overseeding (y)
