Common Vetch is the largest component at 38%, while Timothy accounts for 23% of the mixture. The remaining six species provide the flowering legume component, creating a balanced formulation for establishing the specified two-year fallow.

The mixture has a stated height of 20–150cm and flowering period from May to September. Sow in spring using a shallow drill and roll establishment method at 13kg per acre. One 20kg bag provides approximately 1.54 acres of coverage at the recommended sowing rate.
