Organic Green Manure Sainfoin

An excellent drought resistant silage or hay crop that can also be grazed and is extremely beneficial to pollinating insects. It’s a high-yielding, drought-resistant plant which needs no nitrogen fertiliser and little phosphate. Sainfoin with its deep penetrating roots thrives on free draining, alkaline and calcareous soils (pH6.2 or above). It is not suitable for moisture-retentive or acidic ground.

Sowing rate: 10 Grams per SQM.

If sown as a wildflower, it best to scarify the area to disturb / expose the soil and sow in late summer or early spring as the soil warms. Ideally the seed should be lightly covered or at least rolled in or walked over to ensure good soil contact.
Sown as a single crop on bare / clean soil (10 Gram per square metre). Reduce this by 75% if being introduced to an established grass area.
