Green Acres are the best performing mixtures on the market as testified by our many very satisfied customers.

The potential to produce between 12-16 tonnes of grass DM/ha over a long growing season is a major competitive advantage for Irish livestock farmers.
Hugh variability in grass yield and quality exists between farms but also within farms. A farmer focused on reducing this variability WILL be more profitable.
RESEEDING PLAN OF ACTION – BACK TO BASICS
- Identify those fields for reseeding based on content of weed grasses and overall paddock performance.
- Spray off the old sward with the recommended rate for the particular Roundup brand you have purchased.
- Address any drainage issues, conduct a soil test & apply necessary lime, N, P & K.
- Select the most suitable grass seed mixture using the best varieties available.
- Decide on method of reseeding & prepare a fine, firm seedbed sowing ideally in warm moist conditions.
- Roll well.
- Monitor for slugs & other pests.
- Apply post-emergence weed control.
