A fast-growing brassica mix. Many customers broadcast this into struggling game covers to ‘patch-up’ or drill or broadcast into stubble after harvest. The crop that results is ideal for flushing points or can provide a useful wind-break alongside a strip of maize.

Our most popular summer-sown mixture. Very fast to establish and can be used in a range of scenarios. The inclusion of vetch and buckwheat (non-brassicas) reduces the overall risk of flea beetle damage. Utopia is included to improve the winter-hardiness of the mix. As a general rule Autumn Promise does better drilled rather than broadcasted. When weeds are a serious issue, this mix is a good choice because it can be planted late into a stale seed bed.

This is a blend of a grain maize and faster-growing forage type. The mix is superb on challenging soil types, it is popular with customers growing maize on heavy soil types. This variety has excceptional early vigour which results in a very fast establishment. Top Gun FAO 180 - 480  produces a large amount of grain too. 

A firm favourite with growers for many years. Our Old English wildflower mix produces a natural display of wildflowers, with subtle pastel shades of flowers blooming throughout the spring and summer creating a stereotypical English countryside wildflower meadow habitat. The species are balanced to ensure they all establish nicely, but the standout species include sainfoin, ox-eye daisy and wild carrot.

This is a very versatile wildflower mixture with annuals included to give a burst of colour in the first year of planting. Some flowering legumes are included which are big favourites with pollinators. The inclusion of perennial species means that the mix will last for a number of years. 

A colourful and impressive looking 1 year mixture. This mix can be sprayed with a pre-emergent herbicide to offer broad-spectrum weed control. Sunflowers and millet in particular produce a huge quantity of high-protein seed for game and farmland birds. The inclusion of grain sorghum ensures the mix stands up will into the winter.

A versatile maize variety that ticks all the boxes. Produces a good cob and suited to a ranfe of soil types. We have supplied our Storm FAO 200 maize for many years and it has become a firm favourite with a lot of customers. 

Phacelia is used in the UK as a brood rearing crop. Its purple flowers have the tremendous ability to attract a large array of insects. In the summer you can hear a crop of phacelia buzzing. In trials where it has been growing alongside or with a kale it produces an excellent cover, and although an annual, due to its high seed drop will re grow for many years by self-seeding. It’s not hardy enough to withstand frosts and therefore needs to be sown with other crops if it is being considered as part of your cover plans. Where it has been grown alongside kale, we have noticed that the problem of flea beetle is reduced. This could be due to the presence of hover flies in phacelia which feed on the flea beetle.

Another long-term cover crop providing a tall tussocky grass up to 6ft. A useful crop for areas where re-planting is impractical or uneconomic such as field margins, set-aside, forest glades or plantations. Canary grass is very versatile having the ability to provide a multi-function cover for nesting, holding and driving. Canary grass should be planted in a minimum 30” rows, ideally 40-60”. The growth nature of canary grass means it creeps in the gaps year after year, eventually resulting in it being too thick. If this occurs our advice is to top it in the early spring and with a nap sack sprayer, spray out large lines to clean up the area enabling the canary grass to grow tall creating a canopy and tunnel. It is a good idea to spin on some lightning mustard to keep the weeds down as canary grass is slow to establish.

Moonraker Commerical is a very hard-wearing general purpose grass, suitable for front and back lawns mowed with a conventional lawn mower. It can also be used for grass banks, verges and in some cases ports pitches.

A unique blend of our kale varieties. Our trials have shown that growing a kale blend often leads to a more successful crop. Fast establishing varieties ensure the mix gets established well, whilst others such a bitteren, have superior winter-standing power and good potential for second-year cover. 

Our exclusive variety makes an ideal permanent game cover crop once established. It will provide warmth and shelter and has a thick root ball which increases its standing ability, provides maximum cover and is a suitable height for the beaters. Once established, Miscanthus will last well over 10 years. It has been successfully grown up to 1,000 ft above sea level.

A winter-hardy brassica mix, so it is ideal for flushing points and wind-breaks. In areas where grass weeds are an issue this is a solid choice. Selective herbicides can be used to kill grass weeds. The crop itself offers excellent cover, feed and nectar. The second-year crop can be just as impressive as the first. This mix has a wide planting window which adds to its appeal. it can be planted from May right through until late July.

One of our most popular 2 year mixtures. Fast growing ingredients such as fodder radish and phacelia protect the kale from flea beetle and other pests during early establishment. Quinoa produces a huge amount of small palatable seeds throughout the winter.

This mixture of flowering species can tolerate temporary water-logging so is designed for areas around ponds and streams. The species within the mix have very strong root structures so this mix works well for stabilising banks of newly created ponds too. In mid-summer the main flower colour is yellow and a huge number of pollinating insects will be attracted to the area.
