    I am going to do some reseeding. It’s boggy / peat. I am thinking of using multi species grass seed. There are three rye grass seed varieties, three legumes and three herbs varieties. Has anyone used them. What is there persistence like.

    Sounds like you could possibly get a more suitable mix made up, what are the 3 herbs and 3 legumes?
