Winter Mixes
Our Winter mixes help with soil revitalisation and weed suppression. Moreover, these versatile mixes service as great feed for livestock, contributing to huge lives weight gains and healthy animals.
The mixtures are composed of legumes, grasses, brassicas, and broadleaves, each playing a critical role in soil enhancement. The legumes harness atmospheric nitrogen, repurposing it into a form accessible to various plants, enriching soil fertility. In tandem, the grass species, renowned for their robust root systems, enhance both soil structure and water absorption capacity.
In this botanical synergy, brassicas act as resourceful gatherers, retrieving nutrients that would otherwise remain untapped by different flora. Complementing them, the broadleaves extend deep taproots, a natural mechanism for alleviating soil compaction, while their blossoms are a haven for beneficial insects.
The strategic interaction within this blend doesn’t just enrich the soil — it forms a dense botanical barrier, leaving scant space for unwanted weeds and ensuring your fields remain primed and ready for subsequent planting seasons.
If you're on a quest to elevate your soil's health and overall productivity, look no further than our Winter Mixes.
