My partner and I recently purchased a property with a one acre meadow that follows a stream. The previous owners had it mowed to within an inch of it's life. We have let it regrow into a meadow and have started to re-establish a variety of wild flowers to it . Of course we have to contend with deer ( natures lawnmowers) that love the sweet shoots in the spring.. Keep up the good work !<br />regards andrew peake apsley ontario/canadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223294603002782762.post-85698321344173250262012-05-20T18:25:46.509-07:002012-05-20T18:25:46.509-07:00A good read Noel, and I like the way you go on int...A good read Noel, and I like the way you go on into the ground without too much preparation with the plugs, after you have done a spray off in April (UK) not disturbing the soil to much, keeping it stable? I guess this is a great way of planning it all out, and going back in at the right time to sort out any dominating species by countering with others? I'm away from my books right now, working on soil in Ontario, I shipped a lot of seed up from Colorado USA, but it is for this area and zone. Hopefully when I get my camera I can take some pics. Squirrels playing havoc with my seed beds, but it is great doing it this way, rather than buying plants individually from a garden centre, I have now got to the stage where I cannot imagine doing such a thing! Now I am back to the blogging I look forward to reading more on your meadow.Telegraph Tea Room Garden Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904794054708100325noreply@blogger.com
