Hi I am looking for an organic mix of seed for a cover crop. Ideally it would have the following in it
Sorghum
Maize
Millet
Quinoa
Beans
Peas
Sunflower
And anything else that can be added
We are in Somerset aiming to direct drill into existing permanent pasture in the spring. It will be grazed by beef cattle when maturing.
Looking for soil building as well as grazing. It’s a 40 acre experiment basically
