Ref: MIXEQOS
This mixture is adapted from our Equine Pasture mix, it uses traditional, non ryegrass species, ideal for fields that need patching up when a non ryegrass mixture is preferred. These traditional species are long lasting but will take longer to establish initially, care should be taken to prepare the ground thoroughly, by grazing or cutting the existing sward, then harrowing well before sowing and roll after sowing.

Cocksfoot

Creeping Red Fescue
Often known as Strong Red Fescue, this common grass, as its name implies, has creeping rhizomes . It has a more vigorous creeping habit than some similar species which can help to create a dense, hardwearing turf or sward. These shallow creeping roots help it to remain green even in drier soils.

Red Fescue / Chewings Fescue
