When the paddock fertiliser is properly selected it has the ability to become much more effective than the mineral based fertilisers. Growing of high quality grass in your horse paddock can be very beneficial as you can save more than three hundred pounds that could be used on supplementary diets. The components of the two in one perennial mix include two kgs of coated perennial pasture seed mix, Rhode grass, panic grass, giant Bermuda grass and kikuyu grass. When applied to the horse paddock the perennial mix can greatly minimise the amount of supplementary diets needed by the horse owner since there is a constant supply of green feeds.


The paddocks that were initially deemed as run down can be transformed into profitable and productive pastures. The soil erosion risk will be greatly minimised in summer since the pasture will provide soil cover all year round. The animal will receive health benefits that are long lasting due to the constant supply of fresh and green feeds. Make sure you store your fertiliser under dry conditions in a cool place that does not get sunlight directly.
