At Treway Farm we don’t just farm cattle, we farm soil.
The health of our pastures begins beneath our feet, and everything else from the quality of the grass to the nutrition of our beef depends on it.
Over the past couple of weeks we have been busy with three important jobs across the farm: spreading farmyard manure, applying lime and direct drilling herbal ley seed into our existing pastures. None of them are particularly glamorous, but they are some of the most valuable investments we make in the long term health of our land
Spreading Farmyard Manure - Adds organic matter and slow-release nutrients
Spreading Lime - Corrects soil pH and improves nutrient availability
Direct Drilling Herbal Leys - Increases plant diversity and strengthens soil structure
None of these changes happen overnight. Building healthy soil is a gradual process that takes years of careful management, but each season adds another layer of resilience.
