Their synergistic effect creates a dense growth that leaves little space for weeds, and provides great feed for livestock.

“We have been working with Grant and the Down Under Covers team for nearly 2 years now and have been amazed by the results we are seeing ourselves. Grant’s knowledge and willingness to help has been phenomenal.
The multi species equine mix Grant has helped us develop has given us hope and excitement for a truly regenerative future within thoroughbred horse industry. We are amazed at how the diversity has smothered the undesirables whilst attracting the beneficial insects”
