Description
Cocksfoot, of all the grasses, boosts the deepest rooting ability. As a result it is our most draught hardy species of grass. When grown in draught prone areas, such as the south of England, cocksfoot can be relied upon to offer continued growth and good grazing. To ensure cocksfoot maintains its palatability it must grazed regularly. Although a useful addition to many short to medium term grass leys. Cocksfoot is not suitable for permeant pastures as it will become woody, unpalatable and of little interest to stock. When used on soils where levels of historic organic matter have been depleted over the years cocksfoot will, within a few seasons, add a noteworthy quantity back. Organic matter plays a big part in the overall health and productivity of grassland.
