Description
Seeds for chicken runs – robust ground cover for heavily used areas
Where chickens scratch, peck and roam, the turf is put under considerable strain. Over time, bare patches develop, the soil becomes exposed and is more vulnerable to both chicken claws and the effects of wind and weather. The Chicken Run Mix (Organic) was therefore created from robust grasses and clover species that together form a dense, resilient and regenerative plant cover.
Perennial ryegrass ensures rapid turf establishment and can quickly recolonise gaps that develop. Kentucky bluegrass and red fescue form runners and therefore help create a firm, continuous sward. White clover complements the mixture with its creeping shoots and also supports dense ground cover.
Bird's-foot trefoil, black medick and white clover are legumes and act as nitrogen-fixing plants. With the help of root-nodule bacteria, they can bind atmospheric nitrogen and thus contribute to supplying the plant community, especially on relatively poor or drier sites.
The mixture is suitable not only as seed for chicken runs, but also for other extensively used garden areas. It can, for example, be used as an understorey sowing beneath fruit trees or for robust, low-growing green areas.

Sowing and care
Sowing the Chicken Run Mix
Direct sowing outdoors is possible from mid-March to the end of August. Broadcast the seeds over a prepared area with a fine, crumbly soil structure, then work them into the soil to a depth of around 1 to 2 cm or cover them with soil. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination. To encourage good turf development, it is advisable to protect the freshly sown area from intensive scratching and trampling for as long as possible until the plants are sufficiently established.
