A herbal rich ley contains a wide and diverse range of grasses, herbs, and clovers. They are a superb source of nutrient which enables optimal animal performance when it comes to meat or milk production. As well as the nutritional benefits, herbal rich leys can equally be as beneficial to the soil by helping to restore and build soil fertility and structure. This is down to the deep and fibrous rooting plants that are included in the mixture.
