| How To Grow |
Sow virtually year round avoiding the hottest and coldest months. The seeds can be scattered thinly or sown in the foraging position, allowing 2-3g seed /m². Keep the chickens off the area until plants are established and have reached a height of between 5 and 10cm. After initial grazing move the chickens to another area, allowing the plants to reshoot. Seedlings emerge 7-14 days.
