Hi,
Absolutely stunning in its beauty was the wildflower meadow I created at the top of our steeply sloping garden last year. I actually started the year before clearing a 40' long hedge completely and turning over grass by spade allowing it then to over-winter.
My wife generously bought me a new Hyundai rotavator and at first I couldn't use it due to it bouncing out of control and wanting to head to the valley bottom; its tines also clogged solid with wet sticky soil; many stones and roots; however once the soil dried a bit more I managed the first pass with the rotavator churning up roots; stones and grass sods; after four passes the soil became very soft indeed and it is very rich soil which isn't supposed to be liked by wildflowers.
I tried broadcasting the seed but found it difficult because the prevailing breeze coming up the valley diverted the seed from where intended; fed up of this I wondered if I could use the breeze to my favour; I stood well back downwind and simply tossed seed upwards into the breeze and I was amazed to see the seed spread perfectly so this is how I broadcast the seed.
It didn't take long before something was happening; at first I thought it was grass starting to grow but in very little time wildflower plants were shooting up.
People walking along the lane would stop in amazement viewing the glorious spread of flowers which lasted ages.
I want a repeat this year so rather than just cut back the dead growth I completely removed it and I've already rotavated and raked four times so next month I'll rotavate and rake again; I've bought the same kind of seeds again from Meadow Mania in readiness and am looking forward once again to see the magic.
I took a close up picture of the wildflowers and won a gardening competition with it.
I can highly recommend Meadow Mania their seeds just cannot be bettered in my opinion.
Kind regards, Colin.
