Many believe the season is nearing its end – but in actual fact, July is an ideal time to establish several types of wildlife strips.

The most important thing is not the date on the calendar, but sowing under the right conditions. If you can time your sowing to coincide with rain, you give the seeds the best conditions for a quick and successful establishment.

Fewer weed problems – better establishment

Many believe the season is nearing its end – but in actual fact, July is an ideal time to establish several types of wildlife strips.

The most important thing is not the date on the calendar, but sowing under the right conditions. If you can time your sowing to coincide with rain, you give the seeds the best conditions for a quick and successful establishment.

A hunter who delivers when the game needs it most

A wild-field mix should not only look good – it should provide food and cover at a time when nature's own resources are starting to become scarce.

Therefore, a sowing in July can be a great advantage. The plants develop over late summer and stand strong through autumn, when the need for both food and shelter becomes greater.

Our recommendation

If you haven't sown your wildlife strip yet, there's no reason to give up on the season.

Follow the weather forecast, it may be worth waiting for some decent rain, and choose a seed mix that suits your purpose. With the right conditions, you can still establish a game crop that will be of great value to the game for the rest of the year.
