We just spent a few hours over seeding some of the poorer areas of our fields with a white clover mix. We also sowed some Herbal Ley

We contained it to an area at the bottom of the field so it will be interesting to see if there's a preference for grazing it. Some of the seeds including sainfoin are supposed to be anthelmic and help reduce worm burden - Any one any experience of whether this works or not?.

We just sowed a Kilo to see what happens - at worst the butterflies and bees will be happy!

Hi big light
How didyou sow the seeds? We occasionally think about reseeding but dont want to plough up and start again.

A rake to scarify and took benefit of any mole hills etc sowed just 2 kg of white clover mix and 1 kg of the herbal ley ( which was bigger seeds so primarily in bare patches or mole hills). Then just stamped them in.

What a great idea .....  may have to have a go myself

Reckon will just try and improve a bit at a time at this time of the year  - doesn't cost the earth either!

I put some on a bit of rough ground we had to reseed last year - brilliant stuff, the goats love it and it looks great too, especially the sainfoin.  Going to reseed a 2 acre paddock with it in the autumn

Did you notice any worming  benefit?
Did they graze if preferentially?
thanks

it is a shame it is £8 for delivery, I wouldn't mind just getting a 1kg bag to see what it was like.

Do you want me to send you some?

Thank you! That's really nice of you to offer, but don't worry, I bought a clover and grass mix from ebay in the end.
