My #BumbleBirdPatch has been feeding the goldfinches teasel seed recently. Always great to see.. Still a bit of pollen and nectar too, although I haven’t seen any queen bumblebees for a while. @CotswoldSeeds
Oink-redible scenes at @clarksons_mini_farm 🐖
Taken in May, their Cotswold Seeds rooting mix went “absolutely berserk” in the best way possible 🐽!
The pigs seem to approve 🤩

Spot where the cows have been🌱
Here is what @theredlarder said
“they’ll always be loads of photos on my phone of pictures of where the cows have been & what they are moving into.
I love seeing how affective moving them is everyday is. There are a few reasons why we do this:
💩Giving them fresh ground means the whole field has an even spread.
🪱We haven’t had to worm cattle. If they have worms but stay in good condition & put on weight that’s a cow with strong genes & a good immune system. By moving everyday we beat the worm lifecycle.
This is how we are managing our cattle, forage & soil.”

The ever popular Rye/Vetch Over-Winter Mix. Available in conventional & organic 🌱
Taken in Feb by @realseeds. They said “#Greenmanure of #wintergrazing rye & vetch looking good despite the cold weather. We use different #covercrops but this is one of our favs for over winter.”
Farming with the environment🌱
@sunshineandgreen shared this in July “Humus builder from @CotswoldSeeds, speaking from experience & someone on heavy tired ground, this has been a game changer.
Red covers, cocksfoot & chicory work wonders for soil, weed competition & wildlife.”
