Culture:-
Sow early spring and early autumn. Succesive sowings can be made
throughout the growing season as long as water can be applied to the
growing area.
Choose a weed free site of low fertility. Do not use
fertiliser. Prepare a weed free and firm seed bed, thoroughly mix the
mixture and apply evenly over the surface and lightly rake in. Sowing from
early March to September roll or tread the soil lightly to firm soil
around seeds, do not roll if sowing late autumn or early winter. It is
best not to water the seed bed unless you can maintain the moisture level
for at least 2 weeks, if this is not possible leave the watering to
natures way, the seeds will then germinate when all the right conditions
are met.
Ideally it is best to divide up the sown area so the tortoise will graze
one area while the other areas have time to recover, do not let the
vegetation be overgrazed otherwise some herbs/wildflowers may not
recover. If vegetation becomes too tall shear or strim the area. If you
only have a small garden consider growing the mixture in a tray or punnets
just like cress from the supermarkets.
A mixture to produce a natural source of food for the tortoise. Sow a
small enclosure, large area or raise in seed trays.
