A diverse selection of leafy greens, herbs, grasses and legumes chosen to create a productive living forage area for poultry. Suitable for chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, the mix provides fresh vegetation to peck, graze and scratch through while encouraging the natural foraging behaviours that keep a flock active and engaged.
The mix usually includes Amaranth, Buckwheat, Chia, Chicory, Clover, Cocksfoot Savvy, Lucerne, Medic, Millet, Salad Mallow, Silverbeet, Sorrel, Spinach and Vetch, subject to seasonal availability. Many of the young leaves are useful pickings for us too.
Growing forage for poultry is a practical way to add diversity to their diet while making productive use of garden or paddock space. In return, poultry contribute manure, scratch through organic matter and help cycle nutrients back into the soil.
For the best results, allow plants to establish well before introducing birds. Rotational foraging works particularly well. Divide the growing area into sections and give birds access to one section at a time while the others recover. This helps prevent overgrazing, protects the soil and provides a more consistent supply of fresh greens.
Plant a new area every few weeks for succession and a continuing supply of forage.

Planting / Sowing
Broadcast evenly over prepared, weed-free soil and lightly rake seed into the surface. Keep consistently moist during germination and establishment. As the mixture contains many different species and seed sizes, germination and growth will occur progressively.
Protect newly sown areas from poultry until plants are sufficiently established to withstand grazing and scratching. For continuous forage, sow successive patches and rotate access between established areas.
This forage mix is intended as a supplementary source of fresh greens and enrichment and should be provided alongside a nutritionally complete poultry diet.

A diverse warm-season green manure blend designed to build soil, add organic matter, protect bare ground and help suppress weeds between productive crops. Combining legumes, grains, brassicas, vegetables and herbs gives the mix a variety of root depths and growth habits, producing substantial above-ground biomass while maintaining active roots throughout the soil.
The mix usually contains Alfalfa, Barley, Beetroot, Broad Bean, Corn, Cow Pea, Dill, Fenugreek, Japanese Millet, Mustard, Radish, Rye and Vetch, subject to seasonal availability.
Legumes within the mix can fix atmospheric nitrogen when associated with the appropriate soil bacteria, while vigorous grasses and broadleaf species provide bulk organic matter and ground coverage. Deep and varied root systems help improve soil structure, cycle nutrients and keep soil biologically active between crops.
Not everything in the mix will mature or flower at the same time, and that's perfectly fine. Green manure is generally best cut as flowering begins, before plants put significant energy into mature seed production. Cut material can be left on the surface to break down as mulch or lightly incorporated into the top 5 cm of soil.
Allow approximately one month between cutting or incorporation and planting your next crop to give the organic material time to begin breaking down.

Hibiscus sabdariffa
Rosella is a striking warm-climate annual shrub growing up to approximately 2 m, with distinctive red stems and pale yellow flowers marked with deep red centres. After flowering, plants develop the fleshy red calyces for which Rosella is best known.
The tart, cranberry-like calyces are traditionally used for jams, jellies, syrups, sauces, cordials and herbal teas, and can be used fresh or dried. Rosella is cultivated for both culinary and traditional medicinal purposes throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world.
Native to tropical Africa, Hibiscus sabdariffa has travelled widely through Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific, becoming an important food plant in many cultures. In Australia it has a particularly strong association with Queensland gardens and traditional home-made Rosella jam.
Plants need a long, warm growing season, ideally around five to six frost-free months, to reach their full potential.
Approximately 25 seeds per packet

Cucurbita maxima
Queensland Blue is a classic Australian heirloom Pumpkin producing large, deeply ribbed fruits with distinctive dark slate-blue to grey skin. Beneath the tough rind is dense, deep orange flesh with an excellent sweet, rich pumpkin flavour.
The firm, relatively dry flesh holds its shape beautifully during cooking and is particularly good for roasting. It is equally suited to soups, curries, stews, mash, pies, baking and traditional pumpkin scones. Its combination of flavour, texture and generous fruit size has made Queensland Blue an enduring favourite in Australian kitchens.
Developed in Australia and closely associated with Queensland, this variety became an important home garden and market pumpkin. Its thick, hard skin made it particularly valuable in the days when produce needed to withstand handling, transport and extended storage without refrigeration.
Queensland Blue is also an excellent keeper. When fruits are allowed to mature fully on the vine and are properly cured after harvest, they can be stored for many months. The hard rind protects the dense flesh within and made varieties like this especially valuable as a dependable household food crop.
Plants are vigorous, sprawling vines and require plenty of room to grow. As a Cucurbita maxima, Queensland Blue appreciates warm growing conditions but performs particularly well across temperate and subtropical Australian regions.
Pumpkins originated in the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years before spreading throughout the world. Australian growers subsequently developed and maintained distinctive varieties suited to local conditions, with Queensland Blue becoming one of the country’s best-known heritage pumpkins.

Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 20–30 mm deep directly into warm, prepared soil, or raise seedlings in pots or trays for transplanting. In frost-prone climates, wait until all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed before planting outside.
Grow in full sun in rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Allow approximately 1–2 m between plants and provide plenty of additional room for the vigorous vines to spread.
Keep plants consistently watered during active growth, flowering and fruit development. Water deeply at soil level where possible rather than regularly wetting the foliage.
Harvest when the fruits have developed their characteristic slate-blue to grey colour, the rind has hardened and the stem begins to dry. Cut from the vine with a generous section of stem attached.
Cure mature pumpkins in a warm, dry, well-ventilated position before storing in a cool, dry place with good airflow. Properly matured and cured Queensland Blue pumpkins have excellent keeping qualities.
Maturity: approximately 100–140 days.

Lablab purpureus
Rongai Lab Lab is a vigorous, warm-season legume producing abundant growth and excellent ground cover. Grown as an annual in cooler regions and capable of persisting longer in warm, frost-free climates, it is particularly useful for green manure, cover cropping, forage and soil improvement.
Originally introduced from Kenya in 1962, Rongai is a brown-seeded variety producing attractive white flowers. It flowers later than Highworth and can continue flowering over several months where conditions remain warm and frost-free. Particularly well suited to well-drained coastal soils, its vigorous creeping growth quickly produces substantial biomass.
As a cover crop, Rongai helps suppress weeds, protect exposed soil and contribute valuable organic matter. Like other legumes, it forms a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in root nodules, helping introduce biologically fixed nitrogen into the growing system.
The young, immature pods are also traditionally eaten when thoroughly cooked. Mature and raw beans should not be eaten without appropriate preparation.
