Farm & Smallholding Seed

Farm & Smallholding Seed

The right seed mix can make a big difference when establishing or improving pasture, grassland and other areas around a farm or smallholding.

At Zoar’s Ark, you can shop agricultural seed for a range of rural and land management uses, whether you are reseeding a worn paddock, establishing new grass or improving an existing field.

Our range is designed to support practical everyday use across farms, smallholdings, paddocks and grazing areas.

Grass Seed for Fields, Paddocks & Pasture

Different areas of land require different types of seed, so it is important to choose a mix suited to how the ground will be used.

Pasture seed may be selected for grazing, durability and recovery, while other grass seed mixes may be better suited to general paddocks, field margins or areas that need repairing after heavy use.

Always check the individual product information to make sure the seed is suitable for your soil, conditions and intended use.

Choosing the Right Agricultural Seed

Before buying, consider the size of the area, the condition of the existing ground and whether the land will be used for grazing, cutting or general grass cover.

It can also be helpful to think about drainage, soil type and how much wear the area receives throughout the year.

For larger areas or more specific growing requirements, soil preparation and correct sowing rates can be just as important as the seed itself.

Establishing & Maintaining Healthy Grassland

Good preparation can help improve germination and give new seed the best chance of establishing successfully.

Clear or reduce unwanted growth where needed, prepare the soil appropriately and follow the recommended sowing rate for the product you choose.

After sowing, weather and moisture levels can have a significant effect on establishment, so always follow the guidance provided with the individual seed mix.
