Alongside Pomfret’s Wood, on the drive in to The Lund, are a couple of fields currently left as grass for hay. One day, some day, the woodland may spill out across these fields though for the foreseeable future they will me managed for hay….
With this year’s hay cut and baled, we’ve invited a few visitors in for aftermath grazing. These ladies will graze the grass short, breaking up the matted vegetation and mosses. Having the grass short over winter and into the spring will also allow more light to reach the earth in spring and aid seed germination… or so the theory goes :-)
