not sure what lupin mulch is but would expect like lucerne mulch hay it
has lots of nutrients to add as it breaks down, what price is it?


Lupin hay is cut from a field of lupins which are a flowering legume
used as fodder. It is closely related, perhaps a cultivar, to the lupin
grown in flower gardens. It is a way of getting fodder that is high in
nitrogen compounds (utilised by stock to put on muscle) and so is very
similar to lucerne. It is excellent organic material to put on your
soil as it adds nitrogen as well as carbon.


so who sells lupin hay?
