The legume and herb rich grass leys that James trialed with the Somerset Wildlife Trust and FWAG in the last case study are now five years old. The ley was made up of a range of different varieties that not only improved soil structure and chemical balance, supported insect pollinators but also drew up essential vitamins and minerals for the sheep and cattle.
