Grazing Between The Hops- Romlit Ltd

 

Chris Milton applied for £561.47 to purchase grazing infrastructure to allow him, in collaboration with The Hogsback Brewery, to graze between the hops after harvest.

The benefits of grazing sheep between the hops are:

  • Natural weed control
  • Fertilisation
  • Aerating soil
  • Reducing the breweries carbon footprint

The project also included the purchase of warning signs to ensure the public keep away from the electric fence and a safe distance from the livestock.
