Kruiden zaaien: handleiding voor boeren

A practical guide to establishing and maintaining herb-rich grasslands, based on the 'Boer aan het Roer' initiative that reseeded 130 hectares in 2022. Covers soil analysis, weed control, herb mix selection, sowing timing (mid-August to late September), and grazing management with a three-week rest period. Emphasizes deep-rooting herbs for soil and water quality, light and frequent fertilisation, and reseeding every three to four years. Highlights ecological benefits, compliance with fertilisation norms, and resources like soil testing (Eurofins), herb mix recommendations, and educational platforms (YouTube, Foodvalley’s programme). Addresses challenges in herb persistence and knowledge gaps, promoting adaptive management and peer collaboration.
