A36 is a versatile mixture in the Climate Smart A Range, specially designed for loamy and clay soils. 

This hybrid mixture combines durable grasses, herbs and wildflowers to deliver exceptional biodiversity and sustainability for a range of amenity areas.

Sustainable benefits for landscapes 

  • Boosts carbon capture beyond a traditional grass monoculture

  • Contains resilient DoubleRoot clover

  • Improves soil fertility

  • Fosters a rich and biodiverse sward

  • Fast and dependable establishment

Tailored for productive soils

A36 thrives in loamy and clay soils where deeper-rooted species like Tall Fescue and Ribwort Plantain improve soil structure. Nitrogen-fixing plants like Germinal DoubleRoot hybrid clover support soil fertility, reducing the need for ongoing fertiliser inputs.

Usage guide

Sowing Rate

15g/m2 

Sowing Time

March-October

Sowing Instructions 

Create a fine friable seedbed down to 150mm in depth. Carry out two equal sowings at right angles to each other and diagonally to main axis. Broadcast manually or use seed drill, rake level and roll. Ensure good seed-to-soil contact. 

Cutting Height

Down to 30mm 

Minimum Cutting Regime 

Minimum 1 cut per year  

Maintenance 

A36 offers two flexible management approaches: a wildflower meadow strategy with a single late August cut, or a managed amenity regime with four annual cuts in early May, July, September, and October. 

While more frequent mowing may reduce flowering potential, the mixture still improves soil structure and enhances carbon sequestration compared to traditional grass monocultures. 

For high-traffic areas requiring intensive management, our ASustain mixture provides an ideal solution. 

Regardless of approach, always collect and remove arisings to maintain ecological balance and prevent nutrient accumulation.
