It is still too early to sow wild berries.

We are currently experiencing great interest in our seed mixtures – and of course, we are very happy about that.

But right now, it's simply too early to sow.

Although fieldwork is underway in many places, the soil temperature is still too low for optimal sprouting. To ensure good establishment, we recommend that the soil reaches a minimum 10–12°C, before you sow.

Timing is crucial

Wild berries differ from ordinary crops. This isn't about getting in the ground first – it's about hitting the right moment.

If you sow too early, your wild harvest will also peak too early. This means it will coincide with nature's own peak harvest – and thus lose a large part of its effect.

By waiting to sow until June or July, This ensures that your game crops peak later in the season when natural food sources are dwindling, making the area far more attractive to game.

Better establishment – less weeds

A later sowing also has the advantage that weed pressure is typically lower. This gives your seeds better conditions to establish themselves and develop optimally.

Our recommendation

Be patient.

The right timing makes a significant difference – for establishment, growth and the impact on game.

But you can advantageously start planning now which game herb to plant, so you are ready when the conditions are optimal.
