Chicory
Encourage small animals to forage for their food with this quick growing seed blend. It includes legumes to replenish soils with nitrogen, thus reducing the need to fertilise. If sown in the soil, this blend offers multiple grazings or alternatively it can be sprouted for a quick and easy green treat.
By growing crops specifically for your small animals, you can improve their nutrition, have happier Rabbits & Guinea Pigs. A varied diet provides enrichment and stimulation and is a valuable source of vitamins and minerals.
Seed blends last far longer than purchasing vegetables for your aminals and will reduce their consumption of hay and feeds whilst grazing the vegetation.
The blend should be approximately 15cm to 20cm in height, with an established root system. Test by tugging on a plant; if it uproots, the sown vegetation is not ready for your hens. Once you can tug on a plant and not have it uproot, it will be ready for its first grazing. Monitor carefully to ensure you do not “overgraze.”
The key is to not “overgraze.” Ensure that the plants don’t get too trampled or eaten right down to the base. Shorter periods on the vegetation will enhance the lifespan of the blend. Watering is strongly encouraged to keep the plants fresh, lush, and palatable. Please note that not all the varieties within the seed blend are designed to grow back and therefore may only last one or two grazings. However, if managed correctly, the blend should last you the entire year!
The blend is designed to be grown all year round but will require watering.
950g of the Pet Pasture blend is suited for 10m2. You can sow the blend more heavily for a lusher plantation. Sowing lighter than this recommendation will increase the possibility of weeds and is advised not to do so. For best results, sow the blend 10 to 20mm below the suedes and water immediately. Aim to water once a day for at least 1 week post sowing. Fertiliser is recommended but not essential.
