	Meadow Foxtail
		Meadow foxtail is a native to temperate Europe and Asia where it has been widely used as a hay grass for wetlands since 1750.
		Meadow foxtail is a long-lived perennial with short, weak rhizomes.
		Meadow foxtail does best where the climate is moist and cool; however, it is not sensitive to heat and cold, surviving in areas with summer temperatures at or above 100, or in areas with winter temperatures consistently below zero.

		The great expanses of Upper and Lower Lugg Meadow are unique in Herefordshire, not just for their sheer size, but also because they are living survivors of a land tenure and farming economy system which has long since disappeared elsewhere.
		meadows were the most highly valued land in the parishes, as they grew the hay needed to feed the plough oxen through the lean winter months.
		Part of the Meadow and the whole of the River Lugg are designated as a SSSI by English Nature in recognition of their wildlife importance.

		This had the benefit of keeping the fertility of the remaining soil low and the habitat ‘open’ so that many species – some of which are associated more with chalk such as the vetches – could flourish.
		In 1993 when the Trust assumed management responsibility, the meadow was deeply rutted and used as a dumping ground.
		The bank at the top of the meadow is a spring line between the London Clay and the glacial gravels that crest the ridge on which Shenley is situated.

		Than this there is no better evidence of quality, and provided the seed is new and free from admixture with seed of another species, the test of weight alone will affirm the good quality of any sample of grass seed.
		Large-seeded grasses, such as cocksfoot, meadow and tall fescues, and ryegrasses, have naturally greater staying powers than the small-seeded grasses and the clovers.
		It must be a question for the agriculturist to decide whether it will suit him best to prepare his land perfectly and sow less seed, or sow on rougher land and use more.
