Cant say that I have bought it Ruth, have you been looking at the adds on gumtree again....as someone is taking expresions of intrest in sprouted seed and herb mixes and wants to sell seeding grasses . I think I cornered his market buy giving away heeps of plants in the last few years... Pete

Having lived in eastern states I know the value of greens & grains for finches, I tried to find a supplier in WA to no avail.To import it into WA it needs to be radiated by Dept of Agric. which is expensive. I have sourced seeds thru a seed merchant & mixed my own with advice from a breeder in the east.All the seeds in my mix are untreated under pastures Act. I do not sell this as I am not a business

cocksfoot
phalaris
2 small rye
2 panic grasses
signal grass
plaintain
a clover
all these are available if you go looking for them
again percentages are available if you do your research
if you want a sample come & collect itI
I will be making another batch in a couple of months ,the larger the batch the cheaper it is.
I offered the seed to a commercial outlet hoping they would make a batch but then found out their profit margin was 300%
