Grass Mixes (BGM 1, 2 & 3 / SRG)
Grass Mixes (BGM 1, 2 & 3 / SRG)
These grass mixes are usually used for field margins, buffer strips, beetle banks, field corner management, conservation headlands and in-field ponds.
Buffer strips and field margins are sown to create a habitat for small mammals, invertebrates and birds. Its main purpose is to protect vulnerable areas, such as water courses, from agrochemicals and fertilisers.
All of these mixes can be used at both entry level and higher level stewardship schemes.
