[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6490235, member: 63856"] Not very frost hardy, Tim. They handle light frosts but a decent run of real frosts sees them off. However they establish bloody fast, ie 10 weeks to first grazing, and if you don't hit them too hard they'll have the ability to be grazed monthly. A few guys here are using Raphno for both purposes; finish mobs of lambs in them all summer and use the ewes to clean up pasture, then autumn/winter feed the ewes on them (in cells) to allow pasture recovery for lambing. Seems to work for them, easy to establish, eg we generally just spin them on with a bit of DAP or similar as a second crop after swedes/kale/leafy turnip or WHY. Growing lower yielding crops tends to have much less impact on the soil if managed right, rather than "one hit wonders" [/QUOTE]
