Field margin mixture ‘M2’

Field margin mixture ‘M2’ has a positive impact on biodiversity on and along field margins. This type of mixture also increases the landscape value. It consists of oat, barley and buckwheat along with various meadow flowers such as cornflower, cowherb, corncockle, borage and poppy. The image the mixture produces is reminiscent of a traditional grain field dotted with wildflowers. The mixture grows nice and dense and flowers right through to early autumn.

Sow: mid April-late May

Soil: A flower mixture cannot be sown in a margin already covered in plants or with existing grass vegetation. This will produce a poor outcome as grass and weeds are highly competitive.
