These long lasting tussock forming grass mixtures are ideal for reducing soil erosion, preventing leaching of surplus nutrients and providing habitat for invertebrates, small mammals and ground nesting birds.
These mixtures are suitable for a wide range of uses from creating beetle banks to providing a hard wearing headland buffer around cropped areas.

The seed mixtures have been designed to be compatible with a range of actions within the Countryside Stewardship Scheme (CSS) and the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI). However, these mixtures are no guarantee of compliance and should therefore be grown and managed in a way that can be reasonably expected to meet the aims of the action.
