Chicken Scratcher Sward
Ref: mix12
A tough, well proven mixture which provides a dense and resilient turf for hens. The seeds should be sown in to a warm seedbed. Therefore very early spring or late autumn sowing should be avoided. The suggested sowing rate of 23kg/acre is important to achieve the hardwearing turf required to tolerate close grazing and constant wear.
