How To Grow
Sow Mr Fothergill’s Chicken Foraging Mix virtually year-round, avoiding the hottest and coldest months. The seeds can be scattered thinly or sown in the foraging position, allowing 2-3g seed per m². Keep the chickens off the area until plants are established and have reached a height of between 5 and 10cm. After initial grazing, move the chickens to another area, allowing the plants to reshoot.
Seedlings emerge after 7-14 days.
