Many believe the season is drawing to a close – but actually, July is an ideal time to establish several types of wild bird cover.

The most important thing isn't the date on the calendar, but sowing under the right conditions. If you can time your sowing for a rainfall, you'll give the seeds the best conditions for quick and successful establishment.

Fewer weed problems – better establishment

A hunter who delivers when the game needs it most

A wilding plant must not only look good – it must create food and shelter at a time when nature's own resources begin to dwindle.

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

Our recommendation

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

Follow the weather forecast, preferably wait for good rainfall, and choose a seed mix that suits your purpose. With the right conditions, you can still establish a game crop that will provide great value for wildlife for the rest of the year.
