Re: Wild flowers /meadows
I've always fancied making part of my lawn into a wild flower meadow, but to do it properly requires a lot of preparation. A friend has done it but he sprayed the lawn numerous times to kill it off, rotovated it twice and then planted the seeds. The first year he had a huge crop of thistles and little else. He did some more work and the next year it was a lovely meadow. But for a narrow strip such as yours I'd be tempted to just toss seeds around and see what happens!Re: Wild flowers /meadows
Re: Wild flowers /meadows
In early 2000 i moved house and wanted to make my new garden look nice, so sent off for some Wild Flower seeds that came on a roll of mossy earth which you embedded into the ground and watered them in. They did grow but not enough as i think that area of garden didn't get enough light.Re: Wild flowers /meadows
I think its a lovely idea to sow some seeds on otherwise unloved ground..
