Bespoke Cholderton Mix & Simple Herbal Ley - Cotswold Seeds First Hand with Mark Melly
Mark Melly has used a bespoke Cholderton Mix for many years for early bite and drought resistance, but he has started experimenting with mob-grazed diverse herbal leys in his organic arable rotation to further improve soil health.
His farm is located in the North Wessex Downs AONB, between Andover and Hungerford. Soils are typically clay with flint over chalk going through to chalky loams and valley bottom gravel. All prone to summer drought.
Mark has 300 owned acres in an organic arable rotation, including spelt, winter oats and spring barley with three years of cereals followed by three years grass. Stock includes 400 breeding ewes and 85 suckler cows taking all their offspring through to finishing, so at any time there are 250 head of cattle on the farm.
We are an independent family-run company, based in Moreton-in-Marsh, that now works with over 15,000 farmers across the UK, supplying everything from green manures, cover crops and herbal leys to dual-purpose long term leys and silage leys.
Established forty-four years ago by Robin Hill, Cotswold Seeds, now led by MD Ian Wilkinson, has built a reputation for specialising in bespoke seed mixtures and practical expert advice. Specifically tailored to the needs of each field, mixtures are designed to improve soil fertility, reducing the need for costly inputs and benefiting animal health.
Our experience and in-depth knowledge has meant that we are often approached to advise landowners and organisations, from the National Trust to water authorities and environmental organisations, and are increasingly involved in research and educational projects with universities and colleges.
Our small team of highly experienced technical advisors are on hand to share their specialist knowledge on a one-to-one basis. Bespoke mixtures tailored to individual requirements and our next day delivery service means you can sow within hours of talking to us.
