Sowing Tips

For optimal results, sow at a rate of 25 kg/ha. Prepare the soil well to ensure good seed-to-soil contact, and maintain consistent moisture during the germination period. A well-prepared seedbed will facilitate rapid establishment and growth.

Optimal Planting Time

The best time to plant the Temperate Horse Blend is during the cooler months when soil temperatures support germination and growth.

Water

This blend requires a minimum of 600mm annual rainfall to sustain healthy growth. Ensure consistent watering during dry spells to maintain pasture quality.

Fertilising

Regular fertilisation with a balanced nutrient mix will enhance growth and pasture quality. Applying a high-quality fertiliser, such as McKays Slow Release Lawn Fertiliser, during the active growing season will support vigorous growth and maintain nutrient levels in the soil.

Grazing

The Temperate Horse Blend is designed to withstand grazing pressures, making it an excellent choice for horse pastures. It is important to manage grazing intensity to ensure long-term pasture health and productivity.
