There is growing interest in herbal leys for the environmental benefits they bring, with various agri-grants available for growing them.


Intensive arable farms are now using herbal leys to control blackgrass, improve soil structure and boost soil organic matter.


Herbal leys are also being used to create more diverse grassland from existing intensive grassland and converting fields from arable to permanent grass.


Our herbal leys are specialist herbage mixtures containing strong rooting grasses & herbs and are available as either Organic or Conventional seed.


These mixtures provide highly palatable, harvestable herbage over the summer months as well as enhancing the structure and texture of the soil. With good sward management they will retain a thick sward that will reduce weed-build up in the sward.


Our herbal leys will give you:


  • A thick, weed-supressing sward with good persistency
  • Improved soil structure and texture
  • Highly palatable, harvestable herbage over the summer months
